NIEVES 100+ ZINES EXHIBITION
Exhibition of Nieves zines, at Northing Space, March 20–May 8, in collaboration with BABF. Opening hours are 11–16 on Wednesdays–Saturdays.
Nieves was co-founded by Benjamin Sommerhalder in 2001 in Zurich with the aim of creating affordable, quickly made and simply distributed publications that could be published on a regular basis.
Now a selection of Nieves' zine catalogue is on unique display at Northing Space in Østre Skostrædet 10 in Bergen. On the occasion of the exhibition there also is published a new zine co-published by Nieves, Northing and Pamflett, made by the Norwegian artists Espen Friberg and Marianne Arnesen.

The featured artists all have in common a hand-made approach to their work in drawing, illustration, photography and graphic. Over two hundred artists have contributed to the growing list of Nieves Zines, it includes publications by Maren Karlson, Ari Marcopoulos, Stefan Marx, Allison Schulnik, Marcel Dzama, Chris Johanson, Laura Owens, Ken Kagami, Mike Mills, Son Ni, Aurel Schmidt, Harmony Korine, Masanao Hirayama, Miranda July, and many more. The zines are published sporadically in an edition of 100 copies, distributed to a handful of bookshops worldwide and quickly becoming collectibles. Nieves publications have been exhibited at Kunsthalle Zürich, Kunstverein Hamburg, Art Metropole in Toronto, Printed Matter and Swiss Institute in New York and Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris.
