  • Lokos Only
    The organization we have brought together is titled “Retinas, Rods, and Cones”. My name is Desilu and what I’m trying to do is get all the creative people I know together to convey and communicate their artistic ideas onto a zine. So far I have published two solo photography zines and by the time the fair rolls around I will have completed more. Besides my own zines, I plan to bring on a few others as well to bring their zines to share. This book fair presents a tremendous opportunity to reach out to people and show them what is on our minds. The majority of the zines I will be representing will be local Los Angeles artists. There will be film photography zines, graffiti/street art, hand drawn, comedic zines etc…I can share more info if needed. Thank you!

I recently co-published a 4th book via my small press Gravity and Trajectory- a book of photos by Kevin Killian (curated by Darin Klein, with an essay by Rob Halpern).

  • Werkplaats Typografie
    For this year’s LA Art Book Fair the Werkplaats Typografie is asking for the public to participate in a series workshops based around the notion of breaking-even. The aim of the workshops is to create a self-sufficient event at the fair which explores ways in which participants can break-even. These workshops form the content for a limited edition book which is distributed amongst the contributors. In economics breaking-even is described when expenses and revenue are completely equal. In this case the school is approaching breaking-even as a social form to organize a shared experience where everyone benefits from the outcome. While fairs are typically a commercial gathering, they equally provide a space for social exchange and a sharing of knowledge. With all of the costs involved to be present at the fair, many exhibitors and shops strive to cancel out these costs. The school is interested in making this a deliberate intention, to see if something can be made from nothing, for nothing. Werkplaats Typografie (WT) is a two-year masters programme for graphic design that stimulates and practices critical reflection on the basis of a broad cultural perspective. WT is located in Arnhem the Netherlands and part of ArtEZ Institute of the Arts. A maximum of 18 participants engage in artistic research involving content and form, text and image, theory and practice, in relation to professional practice and supervised by leading designers. Alongside more theoretical research and self-initiated projects, participants work on real assignments for external clients.
