Todd's Copy Shop ephemera / copy shop turned art gallery well known as a meeting place and hot spot for 1980's Downtown artist, musician's and filmmakers(Thurston Moore Quote)In ’80, I got a job at Todd’s Copy on Mott Street. Todd Jorgensen ran the Xerox machine in Jamie Canvas, the art supply store in SoHo everybody went to. It was the only Xerox machine below 14th Street, so every artist used it. As soon as he opened [his own place] I started working there, alongside Sara Driver [the filmmaker and partner of Jim Jarmusch]. It was sort of 11 to 7. [Kim] would work one day, and I’d work the next. It was a total nexus. You’d establish dialogue with great artists like Lawrence Weiner. People like Jean-Michel [Basquiat] would come in, who was somebody you knew from Tier 3 and the Mudd Club; someone your age. I was like, “Oh cool, you’re doing art too?” Bands would put up fliers all over SoHo; there were wheat-paste fliers everywhere.
I decided to start a music fanzine around ’82; I called it “Killer.” When Todd wasn’t looking, I’d be running off copies and stapling them together. Michael Gira, the frontman of the band Swans, was on the [first] cover. Todd didn’t like the idea that I was doing a fanzine. He was very aware I was using a lot of paper that wasn’t being accounted for, so we came to an agreement that I had to pay.- Tjurston Moore (Sonic Youth)
