Two weeks ago, Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose opened to a colorful audience at the Virginia MOCA. Reviewed here on our blog and in our upcoming issue Volume 40 (now available for pre-order!), this landmark retrospective highlights the visionaries that have appeared in the magazine for the past forty issues, three books, and thousands of pages. Today, we bring you a video recap, courtesy of our friends Kyle Maier and Amie Gibson at Kamio Media.
Kamio Media is a video production studio currently located in beautiful historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. They play a special role in the ten year history of Hi-Fructose, having produced our video series “From Page to Screen”, which features behind-the-scenes studio visits with artists like Scott hove, Nicola Verlato, Jennybird, whose work is also featured in Turn the Page. (Awesome side note: they also write their own music of various genres, so all of their videos come with 100% original content.)
