The Vancouver Art Book Fair—Canada's first and longest-running international art book fair (which is itself still in its infancy, at six years) — returns to the Vancouver Art Gallery next weekend.
Opening with the Member’s Preview and open Reception on October 13th, the fair runs from 12pm to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, is free and open to the public and showcases the work of over 100 publishers and artists through exhibitor booths, hourly talks, performances and artists' projects.
Featured presenters include Paul John of Endless Editions (New York), Trevor Powers and Annie Sollinger of Papersafe (Jamaica Plain/Easthampton), Alicia Nauta of Alicia Nauta's Klassic Kool Shoppe (Toronto), Sylvain Bilodeau of Architecturama (Montreal), Michael Cook of Pythagoras Records (Vancouver), Nerijus Smola of KG Press (Kaunas, Lithuania), León Muñoz Santini of Gato Negro Ediciones (Mexico City), Daphne Taranto of Brownbook (Dubai), Björn Engberg of Moon Space Books (Stockholm) and more.
VABF will also present Artists’ Books Week from October 10 to October 15, 2017, which is an open platform for artists, curators, collectives, institutions, artist-run centres and others to host events that celebrate art publishing.
