Friday March 2nd 7-10pm, Eleanor Harwood Gallery, 1295 Alabama Street @25th
"In 2002 Oakland based artists Griffin McPartland and Chris Duncan decided they wanted to do a project together. They couldn't really agree on anything as their aesthetics were completely different. On some holiday or something, after eating way too much, they decided to do a zine embracing their different ideas and interests. They called it HOT AND COLD. The project started with issue #10 and has been counting down since. HOT AND COLD is made in an edition of 150 and is hand-built, silk screened, sewed, stitched, stickered, stenciled, photocopied, colorcopied and any number of other treatments.
With each issue Chris and Griffin invite up to 20 artist to contribute. HOT AND COLD has curated several group exhibits and was part of a show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts called The Zine Unbound: Kults Werewolves and Sarcastic Hippies. in 2006 Hot & Cold was acquired by the New York MOMA for their permanent collection.
The HOT & COLD zine rides the line between artist book & Fluxus creation. The zine also serves as a time capsule of an interconnected web of diverse artists brought together by McPartland and Duncan."
