The Zine Unbound: Kults, Werewolves, and Sarcastic Hippies
Independent Publishing Explored at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
By Sarah Hromack (10/21/2005)

" As the second of four consecutive exhibitions at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts highlighting the growing phenomenon of collaborative art making, The Zine Unbound: Kults, Werewolves, and Sarcastic Hippies is ideologically rooted in the work of three particularly sought-after publications: K48 (Brooklyn), Werewolf Express (LA), and Hot & Cold (Oakland). Artworks made by these zines' editors and contributors expand conceptually from the printed page and into the gallery, where some of the larger thematic forces shaping the contemporary art world inform these installations.

Wurm's exhibit includes experimental performance, photography, video installation, and text. "

Beautiful Losers
Skateboards, Slang, and Symbols
By Nirmala Nataraj (07/30/2004)

" Propounding the DIY ethic and jabbering about street cred are, by now, cliches, but something about the persistent vogue of skating culture makes me feel like a downright luddite. Beautiful Losers, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, is a celebration of skateboard memorabilia and contemporary art inspired by skateboard culture. In the 1990s, a group of American artists barely out of their teens redefined youth subculture by connecting the dots between skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion, and music... "
