Over the course of one week in May 2012, Alec Soth & Brad Zellar visited a dozen towns and cities throughout Ohio in search of community life, and along the way recorded the faces and voices of people longing to connect with their neighbors. This newspaper was published one week after Soth & Zellar returned from Ohio. The LBM Dispatch is an irregularly published newspaper of the North American ramblings of photographer Alec Soth and writer Brad Zellar. - Little Brown Mushroom Alec Soth has produced publications that stray from traditional methods, releasing them through his experimental arts institution dubbed Little Brown Mushroom. Between 2008 and 2015, the imprint’s zines and books emphasized the lively relationship between image and text, packaged and sequenced into intentionally affordable vessels. One such project is LBM Dispatch, a series of seven newspapers made between 2012 and 2014. For each issue, Soth and writer Brad Zellar embarked on a weeks-long road trip, documenting various regions in the US through the quirky banality of local news. That collection of 7 destinations—Ohio, Upstate, Michigan, Three Valleys, Colorado, Texas Triangle and Georgia—are now out of print, but their impact is felt by Soth to this day.
