ACID–FREE is pleased to announce the return of the Los Angeles Art Book Market & Bazaar, a three-day event organized by a programming committee of L.A.-based publishers, librarians, and curators, hosted by Blum & Poe Los Angeles.
Following the success of our inaugural Market in 2018 and our temporary installation at Frieze Los Angeles (‘Acid–Frieze’), join us November 1–3 for the 2019 Acid-Free Los Angeles Art Book Market. A–F II provides a platform for 90+ West Coast and international exhibitors presenting new publications and projects alongside video, music, and discursive programming.
Programming highlights include:
- film programming by Now Instant Image Hall and La Collectionneuse;
- an archival exhibition curated by Guadalupe Rosales
- a roundtable discussion hosted by Anthea Black on the ethics of re-publication
- a talk on the mechanics of the ‘white gaze’ presented by Michelle Dizon and Việt Lê
- a performance by Gabrielle Civil excerpted from her work “Q & A,” activating and reflecting on Black feminist body politics in public space
This year will also premiere the Bazaar, a new outdoor publishing-adjacent area including presentations by Artists 4 Democracy, High Desert Test Sites, Virgil Normal, and more.
