My Zine: Freedom of Expression

Freedom of Expression is an ongoing project I started in 1993 that lies at a unique juncture where art, scholarship, professional wrestling, and crack-smoking meet.

The mundane reality of its origins lie in the fact that I needed a commodity attached to the trademark "Freedom of Expression," so I began selling this publication in 1993.

In January of 1998 I was granted ownership of the phrase "Freedom of Expression" by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It was a conceptual art coup I could never have pulled off if not for the fact that the US government doesn't understand irony.

This "publication" has explored a variety of formats and themes, and it appears to have stopped with issue #18, though one day I may bring it back.

Satisfied customers include Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and hundreds of others who bought an issue through the mail or at record stores.
