In the context of ARTZINES and my on-going
research about zines made by artists, it was very
important to meet Gee Vaucher to talk about
International Anthem, the zine that she started
making in New York in 1977, but also about the
work that she did during the Crass years. Somehow,
she seems to get bored answering over and over
the same questions about works she did for Crass
more than 30 years ago, and she seems much more
interested to talk about more recent works, like the
painting series Children Who Have Seen Too Much
Too soon (2006), which better expresses her on-going
concerns. This issue attempts to show the different
facets of an artist that people always liked
to reduce to one work or one era. As her garden
and the house she has been living in for more than
50 years are a very important part of her life, the
images that compose this issue are split 50% for
her artworsk, and 50% of pictures of her garden
taken on the day of the interview.
