アートブックと言われて何を思い描きますか？本自体がアーティストの手製の造形物としての一点物の作品であったり、作品を紹介する記録集やカタログ、もしくはデザインや執筆・編集など内容をアーティストが手掛けた自費出版やZineなど、様々かと思います。LAUNCH PAD GALLERYでは多様な解釈のできる「Art Book」を展示するイベントを開催します。印刷屋に発注したもの、手刷りの版画や活版、概念としての本ならばページが無くてもOK、形態は自由です。多様な「本」を展示します。

What do you imagine when you hear the term “Art Book”? It could be a one of a kind art piece, a catalog of artwork, or a self-published book/zine that written and designed by artists, or many other styles. We will exhibit all kinds of “Art Books” for this show.

Brighton Art Book Fair showcases artists’ books and zines. It is the first event of its kind to be held in the city.

Ulises: Assembly, is a residency and exhibition engaging the labor of bookworkers from the Philadelphia-based collective Ulises. Founded in 2016 and run by members Nerissa Cooney, Lauren Downing, Kayla Romberger, Gee Wesley, and Ricky Yanas, the bookshop and project space explores the relationships between publics and publications through projects, exhibitions, and residencies asking: “what do you do?” as a means of delving into the printed matters of art publishing today. This project aims to render visible labor, friendships, conviviality, and collectivity of bookworkers as a tribute to their chaotic communality. Ulises: Assembly will be presented at TUAG’s Grossman & Anderson Galleries at SMFA at Tufts campus at 230 Fenway, Boston from August 13 through November 10, 2024 and is the first institutional residency and solo exhibition of the collective.

The next edition of BABE will take place over the weekend of 29th and 30th June 2024 at Bower Ashton Studios, UWE Bristol, BS3 2JT. We have 100+ exhibitors coming from all over the UK and Ireland, Belgium, France, Japan, Sweden and the USA and books arriving from Australia, Poland and the USA.
