Jarko
About
Jarko is a Gothenburg (Sweden) based publisher that started in 2008. Our aim is to promote contemporary artists that work with image as communication. All the publications are made in small quantities, both by hand and professional printed. We work with theme based issues and solo artist zines, which are distributed at fairs, exhibitions, gallery shops and in our web shop.

THE COLLECTION
In 2011 we started Jarko's collection, because we got more and more acknowledgment and opportunities to be a part of different exhibitions, fairs etc. We wanted to find a good way to show the zines that we would like to promote to a broader audience. We decided to start the collection to make this possible. The collection will consist of a permanent and a mobile part. The permanent will be documentation of the zines shown here on our website and the mobile will be the physical zines shown at exhibitions and fairs.
If you want to be a part of the collection please send and e-mail to contact(a)jarko.se and we will arrange it.
