How It All Began: AA Bronson & Nayland Blake on Printed Matter's Art Book Fairs
Hauser & Wirth Gallery, 542 W 22nd St.
Oct 15, 5pm
On occasion of An Incomplete History of Printed Matter’s Art Book Fairs, join AA Bronson and Nayland Blake for a public conversation on the founding and evolution of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs. How has the art book fair landscape shifted? What was art book culture then and now? The discussion will recount the early days of the Printed Matter Fairs, along with a discussion of the role of art book fairs within the larger ecosystem of independent and arts publishing. Introduction by Phil Aarons.
The discussion will be followed by a reception and signing with AA for his new book “General Idea” from JRP Ringier.
