'This is the Salivation Army' (1996-1999) included in Copy Machine Manifestos at the Brooklyn Museum: "Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines is the first exhibition dedicated to the rich history of five decades of artists’ zines produced in North America. Since the 1970s, zines—short for “fanzines,” magazines, or self-published booklets of texts and images, usually made with a copy machine—have given a voice and visibility to many operating outside of mainstream culture. Artists have harnessed the medium’s essential role in communication and community building and used it to transform material and conceptual approaches to art making across all media. This canon-expanding exhibition documents zines’ relationship to various subcultures and avant-garde practices, from punk and street culture to conceptual, queer, and feminist art. It also examines zines’ intersections with other mediums, including collage, craft, film, drawing, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and video. Featuring over one thousand zines and artworks by over one hundred artists, Copy Machine Manifestos demonstrates the importance of zines to artistic production and its reception across North America...The exhibition is accompanied by the first comprehensive publication to explore artists’ zines, co-published with Phaidon Press, and including over 800 images of zines and works in other media alongside texts by the curators and specially commissioned essays...as well as an extensive section featuring biographies of all the artists represented in the project."

Very grateful to the extraordinary Derek McCormack for the exhibition text below:  “Deathly - this is how flower paintings struck Treleaven for the longest time - the flowers under duress, their viewers under duress to value them. He was interested in dispersing this duress, so he started painting flowers himself, and this show features the nasturtiums, sunflowers, geraniums and morning glories that captured him. "I turned to flowers," he says, "to find out what made me resist painting them." There are nine paintings in 'New Pagan Paintings,' all finished in the last few years. The blooms are what you'll notice first, then the light: light's shining on them and light seems to be shining from them. They're alive - it’s animism, though that's not the point of the paintings; it's the starting point. If he grants that flowers have spirits, then what spirit will they grant him? If they have spirit, then surely part of their spirit is perverse. These paintings are pagan in that they're full of a particular spirit: petalled and petulant, hermaphroditic and horny - to me, they suggest what we might get if Joe Brainard paintings buggered Charles Burchfield paintings - paradise! These are cultured flowers with the souls of wildflowers or weeds. When he started painting them a few years ago, he realized that they'd been lurking for a long time. Even in his previous body of work - in his Jewel/Galaxy paintings, he'd drawn flowers on his canvases then painted over them, as if paint were soil, and as if every part of a flower were a seed. In 'New Pagan Paintings,' in these stellar paintings, flowers star: they swarm over the surface; indeed, they are the surface. I might also mention that there's also a painting of a berry, which shouldn't surprise any of Treleaven's admirers: everything in his work's fruity as fuck.” - Derek McCormack's most recent books are Castle Faggot (Semiotext(e)), a novel, and Judy Blame's Obituary (Pilot Press) a collection of essays on fashion and death.
