Essential Communications from Sticky Institute for the month of May 2010
FROM OUR SINGAPORE CORRESPONDENT with Donna Lipowitz
This month: Short and sweet
The Little Dro:m (umlauts over o) Store
Finally I made my way to a new store in Singapore called The Little Dro:m Store run by Antoinette & Stanley...and.... They sell zines! , a little too polished by Sticky standards, however they are independently published zines all the same. I spoke with Antoinette at length on how to promote & encourage the concept of zine enthusiasm in Singapore. She genuinely is interested in helping to promote zine culture in Singapore by means of some kind of zine making, promotion and sharing event held in the shop. Our only hurdle is getting people who do make zines or who would like to make a zine to actually make new zines. However, the plan is set in theoretical stone, which is pretty awesome for the time being. I lent them my collection of zines to peruse and hopefully it will drum up some inspiration.

Singapore Art Gallery in Chinatown:
Worth a small mention, I visited a small gallery here in Chinatown to see an exhibition of postcards including “zine like” booklets by local artists. Unfortunately I couldn’t take a look inside as all the artworks were enclosed in a plastic envelope.
The Gallery: “My Art Space”, 21 Tanjong Pagar Rd #4 – 01
Exhibition of Postcard sized works “Pameran Poskad” (till 01.05.10)
