Buffalo Zine No.9 Copy(right) © 2019

At a time when referencing, borrowing and adapting are everywhere — but our obsession with authenticity and uniqueness has never been greater — what does it mean to be original today? For the ninth issue of Buffalo Zine, we’re delving into the murky world of imitation, from copies to clones, fakes to frauds, parodists to plagiarists. As Pablo Picasso once said: good artists copy, great artists steal. Except he didn’t actually come up with it. He copied it from T.S. Eliot.
