IDNW — Exhibition ZinesArrowClose

An exuberant, experimental, community-oriented surfboard exhibition, It Doesn’t Not Work is hosted every Spring by Wax friends’ Picture Farm Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Each year, Wax works with Picture Farm to author and produce a catalog ‘zine that captures the spirit and craft of the corresponding show. The form of each zine often matches the idiosyncrasy of the surf craft — hand made, unexpected and completely unique.
