edit -- these events will be rescheduled for future dates. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Happy Spring!
Temporary Services is pleased to announce some upcoming events in the Chicago area, as well as some new items at our Half Letter Press store.
This year we were honored to be chosen as the “group-in-residence” in the Art Theory and Practice department at Northwestern University. We have been working on an ongoing project involving mobile structures, and we’d like to invite you to see our progress and our studio.

Join us for a casual presentation on the work we have been doing during our residency. We will discuss mobile exhibition strategies that we have used in the past and our new work in progress titled "Social Mobility".
Why might artists want to work outside of galleries? What are some of the benefits of having a practice that you can take on the road, set up outdoors, or situate outside of the usual art exhibition channels?
A library that we have been assembling on imaginative approaches to creative and everyday problem solving, building structures, visionary approaches to small architecture, and exhibitions on wheels, will also be on view.
Chicagoland residents, hope to see you there!

Queer Zines, edited by Philip Aarons & AA Bronson
$25
Queer Zines, the catalogue, collects the variegated practices of zine makers past and present, from North America and Europe, and lists them alphabetically, starting with Toronto's 88 Chins and ending with the Dean Sameshima zine Young Men at Play. In a riotous assemblage of more than 200 pages, we find comprehensive bibliographies and sinful synopses for more than 120 zines by Alex Gartenfeld, excerpted illustrations and writings by zine makers, reprints of important articles in and about queer zines, a directory of important zine archives, and a list of zine outlets around the world. It also includes a 1980 interview with Boyd McDonald by Vince Aletti, Bimbox's pop-up genitalia (alas, not popping up here), Adam Block's early writings on zines from the Advocate, a "Where are They Now?" section that charts the careers of various queer zine pioneers, and excerpted interviews with GB Jones, Vaginal Davis, and Bruce LaBruce.

Strip-Ts by Let’s Re-Make (available in Unisex M and L)
$15
Strip-Ts are made by Let's Re-Make (Bonnie Fortune & Brett Bloom). The duo is interested in finding ways to repurpose the piles of unworn and unloved clothing out there. Strip-Ts starts with a concern for the tremendous over production and consumption of clothing in the world. There is enough clothing in circulation now to clothe everyone without ever having to make anything new for many years. Right now thrift stores are clogged with t-shirts no one wants emblazoned with logos that state: “The Jones Family Fiesta ’93”, “Marc’s Bar Mitzvah ’84”, “Hooter’s Corporate Retreat and Tan-Off”, “It Stays in Cabo - Spring Break!!! “I’m with Stupid” (Did we really need a shirt to commemorate that?!). Let's Re-Make has stripped these old tees and made them new with scribbles. Buy one and do your part to purge from the collective memory “Crystal’s Bachelorette Party in ’03.” Or don’t buy one, but remember you CAN compost cotton, so bury that tee in your garden and get it out of our sight.
