The International Contemporary Artists’ Book Fair returns to The Tetley gallery in Leeds to celebrate its eighteenth edition with more than fifty creators and independent publishers.
Conceptually interesting and fastidiously made, artists’ books are second to none in terms of innovative publishing. The Tetley in Leeds and publishing initiative PAGES have joined together to present the eighteenth International Contemporary Artists’ Book Fair, which will run from on 7–8 March.
The team has put together a line-up of more than fifty exhibitors, ranging from individual artists to small-scale publishing houses and group ventures. This year they’ll be an events programme too. The LCA Library’s Becky Lowe will unpick the notion of an artists’ book, and Café Royal Books’ Craig Atkinson will present a talk about forgotten archives. There’s a screening of 2007 film Flip books! Un livre, un pouce, un film (5 March) and they’ll be letterpress, flip book and zine-making workshops over the course of the weekend.
