FOTP 2020 highlights

Pictured above and below are a handful of highlights from yesterday’s fabulous 2020 Sticky Institute Festival of the Photocopier Zine Fair. (Click on images for a clearer view). 

For the first time in its illustrious history, the Festival of the Photocopier was held at the historic Meat Market in North Melbourne. I couldn’t have wished for finer zine stall neighbours than Andrew Pilkington, with whom I shared a table, and Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison, who shared the table to our right. Thank you to Sticky and the Meat Market for having us, to Shane Jones for your inestimable assistance and to all who stopped by the Moth Woman Press stand to say hello and help us raise funds for Wildlife Victoria's Victorian Bushfire Appeal. I had a ball and can’t wait to do it again next year.

Life at the Top of the Art World - a survival guide by Alice

So you’ve reached the top of the Art World. Well, it sure doesn’t end there. In eight not-easy steps, Alice demonstrates how to sidestep the painful slide down that most slippery of slopes - and how to avoid getting splinters if you do. An essential instruction manual, Life at the Top of the Art World - a survival guide by Alice, (2020), is presented from the singular perspective of one who was catapulted into mega-stardom while still a kitten. Click on images to enlarge.

Initially Alice assumed a supervisory role in the production of her latest mini-zine, but before long, her contribution became more paws-on. 

Life at the Top of the Art World will be launched at the 2020 STICKY INSTITUTE FESTIVAL OF THE PHOTOCOPIER ZINE FAIR, Meat Market, 3 Blackwood Street, North Melbourne, 3051, on Sunday 9 February, 12 – 5 pm. 

This and all Moth Woman Press limited-edition mini-zines will offered at the special FOTP 2020 price of $4.00, with all proceeds donated to a cause that’s close to Alice’s heart:  Wildlife Victoria’s Victorian Bushfire Appeal:  https://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/ 

Alice at FOTP 2020

Alice has starred in no less than three Moth Woman Press mini-zines, including the eponymous Alice, (2019), a suite of eight pastoral scenes set to a poem, also titled Alice, by Christina Rossetti. The poem was penned way back in the nineteenth century, but the prophetic Rossetti clearly had our Alice in mind. 

Shameless self-promoter Alice wants it known that all three Alice-themed zines will be featured in the upcoming 2020 STICKY INSTITUTE FESTIVAL OF THE PHOTOCOPIER ZINE FAIR at the Meat Market, 3 Blackwood Street, North Melbourne, 3051, Sunday 9 February, 12 – 5 pm. 

Moth Woman Press limited-edition mini-zines will be offered at the special FOTP 2020 price of $4.00, with all proceeds donated to Wildlife Victoria’s Victorian Bushfire Appeal: https://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/

We'll be donating all proceeds of Moth Woman Press sales at FOTP 2020 to Wildlife Victoria’s Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

I'll be there on Sunday 9th February from 12–5pm and hope you’ll drop by and say hello.
