Magnet Fishing:

Magnet fishing involves the recreational retrieval of metallic objects, usually garbage or evidence of crimes, that have been discarded into urban waterways and dredged up using high-powered magnets connected to some rope. It is also the namesake for this zine which brings together crowd-sourced contributors who answered Craigslist ads and tear-off flyers that were conspicuously placed across NYC to magnetically attract folks in the city who enjoy splashing around in the brackish between art and ecological thinking. A scheme conceived of by our friend, Seth Allen, who made the flyers, wrangled the contributors and assembled the pieces with help from the wonderful folks at 8-Ball. You’ll notice throughout these pages pics of peeps engaging in actual magnet fishing; as in the making of this zine, its contributors found themselves wading elbows deep in this giardia-infested hobby alongside Staten Island locals whom Seth met on Craigslist.
