Gallery 263 is pleased to present At What Cost, now on view through November 8. Please join us for an artist talk Thursday October 15 or for a reception Friday October 23 (link in bio, rsvp optional).

This national exhibition juried by Andy Chan, features work from four zine makers across disciplines of design, technology, education, and fine arts. Together they celebrate the medium of zines and highlight the unseen labor, resources, and methods of productions that go into producing these small but mighty handheld works.

Immense gratitude to our artists Andrea Cabochan, Kristen Hearrold, Cait Maltbie & Angela Wei, our juror Andy Chan and our exhibitions director Kaitlin Benton.

Come by tonight 5-8pm or 12-4pm on Saturday or Sunday. Read more about the work, artists and catch a preview at the link in bio. Hope to see you soon 💚

Please join us next Thursday Oct. 15 for a zine and ephemera artist panel! This free event will feature At What Cost juror Andy Chan, artist Andie Cabochon and past small works artist and Somerville Zine Fest organizer Sadie Saunders.

At What Cost sheds light on the material expenses behind creative production. Centering zines and ephemera works, this exhibition will act as a testament to the desire for connection and information sharing in the face of rising costs of living.

The four-artist show aims to elevate this accessible medium to greater appreciation by highlighting unseen labor, resources and methods of production, such as the woodblocks, linocut and speedblocks utilized to hold stories.

This is the final weekend to witness Myth to Ritual. Please join us today or tomorrow from 5-8pm, or Saturday from 12-4pm. We will be closed for installation Sunday October 4.

To learn more about the impulse, curation and considerations that made this national exhibition possible, please read our latest Pearl interview with Exhibitions Director Kaitlin Benton 萌萌 · Kaitlin (link in bio).

As she writes, “It is important to acknowledge the privilege of having longstanding story telling traditions as a form of generational knowledge. Artists in this exhibition also respond to those absences by creating their own mythologies. In this way, we are reminded that these stories that we inherit are never fixed, rather they serve as aliving practice that preserves cultural memorywhile making space for new possibilities. I think they also remind us of our agency in cultural memory.”
