Publish and be Damned, is onging exploring current experimental editorial directions through an eclectic selection of self-published magazines, comics and journals through fairs and an archive..

From the 30th July to 27th August LOT will host the Publish and be Damned archive, with some 150 publications presented in a Public Library designed by Pablo Léon de la Barra. Arranged in an offbeat taxonomy and discovered through the informal networks that make up the self-publishing scene, the material ranges from DIY fanzines to glossy periodicals, video compendiums to critical journals. Surveying a gamut of independent publications, Public Library demonstrates individual approaches to making and distributing the work of artists, writers and musicians outside of the commercial mainstream.

Publish and be Damned was initiated in 2004 by Emily Pethick and Kit Hammonds and continues with the assistance of Sarah McCrory
