There is xerox on the inside of your eyelids

"There is Xerox on the insides of your eyelids" is the name of a travelling exhibition, that documents the creativity in skate zines that first sprang forth in the 80's. The show is curated by Rich Jacobs; a fan & zine maker.
The exhibition has visited London & New York (among other places)
& most recently Heerlen, in the Neatherlands; this printed booklet was produced to accompany that event. 1000 copies were produced...



“Most of the concrete skateparks erected in the late 1970s fell
under the bulldozer blade...

Around the same time, a new era in skateboard publishing got underway via Thrasher magazine- a small town newspaper-style publication out of San Francisco, California that was actually the sport’s first true zine.

In one of its early issues in 1981, a Thrasher editorial encouraged skateboarders to document their own scenes via the “do it yourself” approach.

The result was an explosion of photocopied skate zines… “
