Book of the day > Dzama / Pettibon. David Zwirner Books. “Raymond Pettibon has been making zines since he graduated from UCLA in the late seventies, but he has rarely collaborated as he did with Marcel Dzama on Dzama / Pettibon. After meeting at David Zwirner Books in 2015 to discuss possible projects, the two artists began to embark on their shared endeavor—something that would develop into an exceptionally beautiful, exquisite corpse–inspired form. Pettibon and Dzama traded drawings and spent the rest of the summer reworking each other’s pieces—illustrating, collaging, accentuating, and writing—to make a brand new body of collaborative work. Months later, the unique pieces arrived back at David Zwirner Books where they were photographed and arranged in zine form in close collaboration with both artists.”
