"Library of the Printed Web is a physical archive devoted to web-to-print artists’ books, zines and other printout matter. Its mission is to provide an in-depth view of network culture, artistic practice, and the printed page. The collection is an important resource for the study of print-based experimental publishing in the early 21st century. The collection was acquired by The Museum of Modern Art Library in January 2017, where it is fully accessible for viewing and research (by appointment)."--'About' page.
"Radical, majority QPOC collective making DIY research-based zines focusing on police violence: a history of the 2015 Baltimore Uprising told through teens' tweets; a 150-year compendium of cats attacking cops. Our zines draw from primary source documents and other archival materials, photocopied and bound by us and always sold pay-what-you-wish."-- 2019 Printed Matter Art Book Fair
"Marking the Museum’s entrance into online publishing, Altered States: Etching in Late 19th-Century Paris combines a scholarly collection of essays with a video glossary of printmaking techniques. The online publication compliments the exhibition by the same name that was on view at the RISD Museum June 30 –December 3, 2017.
In late 19th-century Paris, the printmaking process of etching underwent a revolutionary transformation. At a time when prints were usually made as copies of paintings rather than as original works of art, a revival of interest in etching led to greater knowledge of technique, allowing artists to experiment with subject matter and process more than ever before. The publication focuses on the creativity and experimentation that proliferated in these years, during and after etching’s revival, and the centrality in this important shift."
