Queer Zines 2 and the Queer Zines boxed set was released on the occasion of AA Bronson’s exhibition at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam last September. In February, at the LA Art Book Fair, the books were released in the U.S. along with an exhibition of some of the zines featured in the publications. The new volume and boxed set were produced after the popularity of the first edition, which sold out. This Thursday at 8:30pm at Pro qm in Berlin, AA Bronson, along with Yusuf Etiman of ‘Basso,’ Vincent Simon of ‘Dildo’ and ‘GayHouse,’ and Dean Sameshina of ‘Young Men at Play’ will be signing copies of the books. Vincent Simon will also release the new and final issue of GayHouse, a full-color sexual romp by Tom de Pekin. Selected additional issues of GayHouse will also be available for signing and purchase.
