There are tomatoes growing in this garden, and so far they have managed to survive squirrels, rats, birds, and humans. There are a group of very silly/pretty tree gardens in this corner. They were delightfully decorated with aluminum foil, plastic forks, and rocks earlier in the summer, and they are full of very healthy plants now. Cheers to the health of these tomatoes and to the gardeners — I hope they reap ripe rewards.

We are saddened to announce the closing of Printed Matter/St Marks... The last day the storefront will be open to the public is October 13, 2024. The bookstore came into existence in 2018 as the result of a rare and wonderful collaboration with the Swiss Institute, and we thank them for their incredible hospitality and partnership that made the storefront possible.The St Mark's space has been a remarkable site for experimentation, maintaining a specialty focus on the East Village neighborhood and its history as a home for avant-garde art and countercultural publications, offering a selection of independently published books by artists, zines, prints, and historical material. The location oversaw a full calendar of programs, window installations and workshops, including four editions of the East Village Zine Fair, a joyous and wildly successful outdoor zine fair organized in collaboration with 8-Ball Community.We are grateful to the many Printed Matter staff members who have contributed so much energy and talent to all that the space undertook! Stay tuned for future announcements, events, and special sales taking place at Printed Matter/St Marks in the weeks ahead.
