DPI alum Elliott Jerome Brown, Jr. (BFA '16) co-curated with Devin N. Morris this weekend's Zine and Self-Published Photo Book Fair at Baxter St. at the Camera Club of New York. This year's fair title is “Rock Paper Scissors and a Three-Armed Shovel." From Hyperallergic's article:
Brown Jr. explains, “The fair’s title alone references rudimentary tools used for making —the paper and scissor being more comprehensive, traditional tools in this sense, and the rock being a symbol for a breakthrough, ingenuity, or disruption.” The second half of the title honors James “Son Ford” Thomas and his one-armed stepfather, who helped the artist dig graves to financially support his family and art.
