In the 1990s Harmony Korine (sometimes in collaboration with Mark Gonzales) created several hand-made zines which were at times available through the Alleged Gallery, New York, and the Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York. Titles for the zines included Foster Homes & Gardens, Humer, Pocahontas Monthly and Adulthood. A hard cover edition featuring seven of these fanzines was first mentioned in 2005. The March 2006 issue of i-D also made mention of this, which by then had the title The Collected Fanzines. They gave Autumn as the release date but as yet the book has not come out.

Dazed & Confused (May 1999): Korine's penchant for cut and paste and satire and his idiosyncratic deconstruction of media culture can also be seen in his hand-made fanzines. These A5, black and white, photcopied 'zines (sold for $20 each through the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York) show Korine's prankster nature, and insurrectionist agenda come to the fore. It's part surreal humor, rumors and invented pop gossip. Pocahontas Monthly, a collaboration with Mark Gonzales, is page after page of made up Hollywood stories such as 'Kevin Bacon Sucked Dick In The Summer Of '76,' hand scrawled over one side. Humer, Korine's own self-penned 'zine is slightly more sophisticated; passages stolen from old film encyclopedia reviews and biographies, question and answer sessions ripped from magazines, the names replaced by well-known personalities. |
