John Dowd touted iconography through collage and xerography. 🖨️
In 1973, the New York-based artist and graphic commandeered a Xerox machine, copying nearly 250 images from popular publications (mostly front covers), including Disney and DC comics, teen-idol rags, music periodicals, fan club newsletters, counterculture magazines, gay liberation tracts, and more.
A key figure in the correspondence art scene, Dowd’s leveraged juxtaposition in his work as a way to generate new narrative work that bridged the personal, cultural and political, often accompanied by his perverse sense of humor.
“I really like pictures in sequence, facing each other on opposite pages,” Dowd was quoted saying. “Then you can say something.”
See more of Dowd’s work, including zines like “John Down Fanny Club” and “Fanzini” created with longtime collaborator John Jack Baylin, through March 31, 2024.
