What can we expect in the future? Which books will survive? Can we save the book?Presented by Errant Press1pm - 2pmGrowing a New Hope: The importance of publications on ecology and the natural world with Ocean EscalantiIndependent publishers are stepping up to the plate with books on sustainability, homesteading, and natural world know-how in a time of rising food costs and the loss of plant knowledge.

After sharing her stories, Ebti will have a conversation with William Clark, Assistant Professor of English at San Francisco State University, about the window as a motif in literature and the arts, diving deeper into the history of the word, how humans have related to windows and how to work in repetition in long term projects.Presented by ‘cademy1pm - 2pmLove Is The Drug: a film screening &amp; book production discussion with Heather Edney, Liz Roberts &amp; Zach ClarkHeather Edney is a first wave harm reductionist and drug user organizer.

Equally an entertainer and activist, Bailey is based in Temecula—a notably conservative region of Southern California—where she founded the Savage Ranch, a desert-based safe house, residence, and gathering place for friends, family, and extended members of the LGBT+ community. The book celebrates the resilience, beauty, and radical creativity of trans life. At a time when rights are under attack, this collaboration is a living archive of why we must protect gender-affirming care and uplift the legacy of queer art.Presented by Kodoji Books4pm - 5pmSelf Realization Fellows: Photography and Collaboration with Adrian Martinez of illetante books, Book &amp; Job Gallery, and Josh Schaedel and Wyatt Naoki Conlon of The Fulcrum Press.How does one sustain a personal photography practice?

These publications served to build community, share resources, and empower revolutionary living.

This talk and the corresponding exhibition present multiple points of view around what makes Risograph publishing exciting and important at this moment in time. Presented by National Monument Press. 3-4pm What is a book? with Alan Sobrino "Everything is a book. Books are books. A building is a book. The last kiss is a book. The deepest part of the pool is a book. A map is a book about books. A scream in the shower is a book. Palm trees are books. Almonds are also a book. I am a book." Books are typically approached in a straight timeline that tries to capture all of its forms. "What is a book?" will explore the book as a social object, peeling its layers and reflecting the possibilities, forms, and shapes a book can achieve. Presented by Errant Press. 4-5pm From Handmade to Big Trade: Language Barrier + Auspicious Books Discuss Different Publishing Channels and How to Find Them. Trinie Dalton and Abby Banks will discuss their personal histories of making artists’ books and handmade publications starting in the 1990s, particularly within frameworks of shaping indie projects into trade editions for commercial publishing houses.

Hinkle Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle a.k.a. Olomidara Yaya will be performing a live reading from The Evanesced [Tarot Deck + Guidebook]. This new artist's book is inspired by Hinkle/Yaya's The Evanesced Series, an expansive body of work featuring hundreds of drawings and paintings that the artist calls un-portraits, along with a suite of site-specific performances. The project interrogates the erasure of Black womxn historically and presently, standing in solidarity with #SayHerName and various intersections of what it means to be femme, especially Black and femme. Presented by KACH Studio Press and Sming Sming Books. 2-3pm REAL AND MAKE BELIEVE, with Craig SteelyTo celebrate the release of REAL AND MAKE BELIEVE, the 40th effort of LAND AND SEA, Craig Steely will discuss, among other things, his ideas in relation to common hierarchical notions of architecture.

Presented by LAND AND SEA. 3-4pm LIVING ARCHIVES: how book arts community refuses complete burnout, with Kate Laster The practice of keeping records may be associated with institutional control or private comfort but it continues to also be an act of survival. What happens when burnout burns out? This visual studies lecture explores the history and present of cycles of burnout and endurance in book, print and movement work. From scanner beds, printing zines, to studios in the woods producing accessible protest art, our radical art ancestors have taken up space in book margins, founded alternative presses, gathered at meetups, made counter-monuments and rallied in community. The process of persistence is embedded in a vast bibliography far outside of the canon: this is the future of collective liberation. 4-5pm Anonymous Objects: Inscrutable Photographs and the Unknown, with Kim Beil and Alexander Nemerov Join Kim Beil in conversation with Alexander Nemerov on the mysteries of found photographs. Attendees who buy a copy of Anonymous Objects: Inscrutable Photographs and the Unknown will receive their own mysterious vintage photograph selected by the author. Beil teaches art history at Stanford University and her writing on photography appears in the Atlantic, the Believer, Cabinet and the New York Times among other publications. Nemerov is the Carl and Marilynn Thoma Provostial Professor in the Arts and Humanities at Stanford and is the author, most recently, of The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s, as well as Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York. Presented by Park Life. 5-6pm “Hi Babe, It’s Me. You.” — Sam McGuire and MARBIE in conversation on the intersection of queer identity, creativity, and skate To celebrate photographer Sam McGuire’s debut monograph “Hi Babe, It’s Me. You” (Paragon Books), the author joins contemporary artist MARBIE in conversation about their experiences navigating and finding success beyond the skate industry as queer creatives. Sam left his small Iowa hometown to spend a decade on the road documenting professional skaters, driven by a desire to find himself and explore the exotic locations he saw in magazines. He found success working for Nike, Adidas, and Converse, yet struggled with the fear that his career could be ruined if he ever came out. MARBIE also faced challenges in seeking queer representation in skateboarding. A severe leg injury pushed her out of the skate world, but with the rise of queer and women-centered skate crews like Unity Skateboarding, MARBIE returned to find support and a growing audience for her visual art. Presented by Paragon Book and Hashimoto Contemporary. Sunday, July 21 12-1pmOrganizing Power: Unionizing for Arts WorkersAll working people have rights, whether we work at an art museum, a bookstore, or a school.

The exhibition Unfolding Duplications: Contemporary Risograph Publishing brings together artists and publishers from across North America who use Risograph printing as a central element in their works. The publications in Unfolding Duplications range from accessible comics and zines to limited fine press editions, underscoring the broad spectrum of artistic possibilities that Risograph printing offers. Emphasizing the intersection of concept and Risograph's unique print methods illustrates the potential of Risograph printing as a medium for exploring and conveying meaningful narratives. Bringing together contemporary Risograph artists and publishers of the past five years, Unfolding Duplications offers insights into a specific printing technology and how it can evolve into a medium for creative expression while retaining the spirit of innovation and experimentation.

Presented by Inventory Press.1-2pmThe Molotov’s Poetry: Queer, Trans, and Feminist Self-Publishing, with golden dreamsongIn the last fifty years, self-publishing has been critical in the dissemination of a number of seminal queer and feminist works, including Audre Lorde’s Sister Outsider and Larry Mitchell’s The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions. Diasporan Savant Press’s golden dreamsong would like to take you on a tour of some of their favorite examples of feminist, queer, and trans works published by small publishing houses throughout history, as well as contemporary independent publishers keeping the tradition alive!

Readers and creators can get their hands on tens of thousands of books, images, and other media in the public domain–all free to consume and adapt. Curation and accessibility are essential to finding and nurturing the legacies of works by marginalized and avant-garde artists. How can designers and artists draw from this body of work? Cita Press is an open access, design-focused feminist press that honors the principles of decentralization, collective knowledge production, and equitable access to knowledge. Join us for an exploration of how we can help those works breathe new life into our present. Presented by Cita Press.4-5pmGregory Rick: Book Launch Event, in coversation with Chris GrunderHeadlands Center for the Arts presents the publication of artist Gregory Rick’s first artist monograph, which features a new commissioned essay by artist, writer, and educator Brooks Turner along with new paintings completed during Rick’s time at Headlands.

The event features an intimate conversation between the artist and Chris Grunder. It will be followed by a book signing.5-6pmA brief history of Mexico’s LGBTQ+ Publications, with Ricardo VelmorMexico’s LGBTQ+ movement has been enriched and spread out through time, thanks to independent publications. Many of them were made by the same people who first walked in the streets to fight for rights and freedoms of this community. However, the first mentions of LGBTQ+ people in printed matter were all about judging, demonizing and criminalizing sexual behaviors different from heteronormativity. Both sides are part of Mexican LGBTQ+ history and both will be part of this discussion by Ricardo Velmor, featuring materials from a growing archive of Mexican LGBTQ+ publications called Archivo Anal. Presented by Anal Magazine.Saturday, July 1511am-12pmSaturday Morning Cartoons with KoakKoak shares a selection of her favorite pioneering and experimental animations from the 1930s-1990s including the likes of Charley Bowers, Ladislas Starevich,&nbsp;Norman McClaren,&nbsp;Jan&nbsp;Švankmajer,&nbsp;and others (approx. run time 1hr).

Hasbun will be joined by Janet Delaney and Kelsey McClellan to discuss the ins and outs of pitching your work to publishers after creating a long-term photographic project.1-2pmOn Latin American Expanded Photography, with Luis CobeloExpanded photography has hybridization, fragmentation, and constant resignification as its fundamental characteristics, where the limits between the traditional pictorial representation and the production of images by the territories of abstraction can coexist with artistic, documentary, or journalistic practice. There is more than ever a need to expand from the image in a historic moment, where Latin America is redefining itself inwards, in community, and towards the world.Raya Editorial and La Chancleta Voladora are independent publishers, created by Santiago Escobar-Jaramillo and Luis Cobelo, that focus on the design and promotion of photobooks &amp; zines by authors who use photography to reflect on human and political tensions by using mixed techniques and visual narratives. Through the way we face and carry out our artistic photographic projects, our understanding of ourselves expands, and all of this multiplies necessary reflections and a better and broader understanding of our Latin American continent.2-3pmSocial Documentary Photography &amp; The Humanist Vision, with Ken Light and Wessam Al-BadryDocumentary photography aims to witness and shed light on social issues and injustices. It focuses on capturing images that tell stories and provoke dialogue about important political and cultural topics. Ken Light and Wesaam Al-Badry both work in this tradition and are driven by their desire to create awareness and stimulate change through their photographs and projects. Light’s photobooks have long been a part of this tradition as well. He has been actively involved in the field of photography for five decades as photographer and Professor at UC Berkeley. His powerful photographs explore innumerable social and political issues as seen through his numerous books, including Delta Time, Texas Death Row, Midnight La Frontera and Course of the Empire. Wesaam Al-Badry, an Iraqi refugee, multi-talented visual artist and part of the new contemporary generation of social photographers, will discuss with Ken the practice of this powerful medium for storytelling and advocating for social change as witnessed through their photos and publications. Presented by Documerica Books.3-4pmA TIME MACHINE: From personal to community archives, with Adriana Monsalve, Alex Arzt, and Marc Fischer, moderated by Lindsay BuchmanWhile it has been written about extensively, the archive continues to circulate in contemporary art discourse. Image-making, publishing, and the history of print coalesce into a complex, provisional space. Through this lens, A TIME MACHINE examines how archival histories inform artists’ books by asking independent publishers Adriana Monsalve (Homie House Press), Alex Arzt (A Magic Mountain), and Marc Fischer (Half Letterpress / Temporary Services) about the urgency and role of archives in their work. This conversation explores what we might learn from the suture between past, present, and future while centering on how personal and community archives continue to inspire generations of artists’ books. Presented by Seaton Street Press.4-5pmHéctor Muñoz-Guzmán: Brown Eyes from Russell StreetJoin us for a conversation with Héctor Muñoz- Guzmán and Vivian Sming, in celebration of the launch of Brown Eyes from Russell Street. Brown Eyes from Russell Street traces Héctor Muñoz-Guzmán’s artistic practice during a transformative and critical period in his life— contending with isolation, mental health struggles, hospitalization, and alcoholism. The book weaves together ideas, memories, thoughts that provide continual sources of reflection, illustrating the range of Muñoz- Guzmán’s experiences—growing up in South Berkeley, attending RISD, being diagnosed with bipolar, working in the agave fields of Tepatitlán, and staying connected to family. Whether the subject is community, depression, or agrarian life, Muñoz-Guzmán treats them with the same attention, care, and grace, recognizing that all of these people, places, and states of mind inform who he is as a person today. Presented by Sming Sming Books.5-6pmKawabata, the Writer, the Travesti Philosopher, and the Fish, with Shook and Mario BellatinWith longtime collaborator Shook, Mexican prose stylist and Documenta guest curator Mario Bellatin presents a performative reading of Gato Negro’s new bilingual edition of Kawabata, the Writer, the Travesti Philosopher, and the Fish, a genre-fluid—and previously unpublished—text and cryptic key to Bellatin’s iconic plague novela Beauty Salon. Presented by Gato Negro Press.Sunday, July 1612-1pmIs now the time for joyous rage?with Selam Bekele, Jacqueline Francis, Jeanne Finley, Charles Lee, and Trina Michelle RobinsonIs Now The Time For Joyous Rage? is the fourth book in A Series of Open Questions, which is published by the Wattis and Sternberg Press, and distributed by MIT Press. Each reader includes newly commissioned texts and an edited selection of perspectives, images, and references related to the Wattis’s year- long research seasons. The title of each book comes in the form of a question. The fourth issue is informed by themes found in the work of Lorraine O’Grady, including diaspora, Black female subjectivity, racial hybridity, translation, intersectional feminism, institutional critique, Black representation in the art world, archives, music, Conceptualism, and performance art. For this launch event, several contributors have chosen to highlight a piece from the book (other than their own). In a series of short presentations, they read and/or introduce the piece and why they chose it.1-2pmWhere digital and analog meet: the many worlds of Most Ancient booksWhat is the significance of analog books in an increasingly digital world and how can digital experiences expand narrative conventions? Veronica Graham founded Most Ancient in 2010 and since then has experimented with interactive narrative and nonlinear storytelling in comics and exploration games. The projects explore ideas at the intersection of art, technology, and activism. At SFABF she will discuss “Diatribes,” a virtual reality experience and companion printed publications that explore fears about climate change.2-3pmTransforming Ephemera Into Evidence, with Catalina Cariaga and Catherine Ceniza ChoyA conversation between Oakland-based Filipina American poet Catalina Cariaga and Asian American historian and ethnic studies scholar Catherine Ceniza Choy on the occasion of “Notes on Cultural Evidence,” the multidisciplinary exhibition and reading room curated by PJ Gubatina Policarpio, on view in the Slash library through August 19, 2023. The exhibition is anchored in the out-of-print but influential poetry collection “Cultural Evidence” (1999, Subpress Collective) by Catalina Cariaga. Catherine Ceniza Choy wrote the accompanying essay for the exhibition. Presented by / (slash).3-4pmTaxonomies of Labor Within Small and Self Publishing, with Vivian Sming,Carissa Potter, John DeMerritt and moderated by Zach ClarkArt books take many forms. Under the same umbrella term, one may come across fine press handmade artist books, large-scale production coffee table books, urgently made zines, forms of ephemera that push the idea of what a book even is, and endless other forms that fit somewhere in between. Behind any one art book is a publisher or artist taking on a number of tasks to bring the project from conception to tangible object. Publishers may work largely as project managers and financial backers or practice a more holistic publishing approach, touching the book in every stage of its creation. A group of publishers from the fair, Vivian Sming of Sming Sming Books, Carissa Potter of People I've Loved, John DeMerritt of DeMerritt Pauwels Editions with Zach Clark of National Monument Press will discuss the various types of labor they perform in the creation of their books to form a non-hierarchical taxonomy of the labor involved in small &amp; self publishing. Presented&nbsp;by National&nbsp;Monument Press.

MooneyAltman Siegel - 1150 25th St.In conjunction with his solo exhibition auxil, artist K.R.M. Mooney will stage a performance of Terry Riley’s 1964 composition “In C” at Altman Siegel on Friday, July 14, 2023 at 3:00 pm. Described as the first minimalist composition of its kind, “In C” consists of 53 melodic fragments and numbered musical phrases which can be combined and recombined to start at varying times with no specific duration. Purposely lacking a definitive form, its significance is underpinned by its improvised and performative nature as to undergo constant renewal. Focused on wind and breath activated instruments, this re-performance, coupled with the sculptures on view, will explore nature of exchange within the interpersonal realm.Saturday, July 15, 12-2pmFlowers and Their Meanings book signing event with author/artist Karen AzoulayThemes+Projects gallery (2nd Floor, #205)Uncover the secret meanings behind your bouquets and floral arrangements in Karen Azoulay's new book, Flowers and Their Meanings.

Conceived as a mural, where an overall visual ripple effect connects individual parts to a larger whole, Cherry has taken countless vignettes from popular social media platforms,&nbsp;Google Image Search,&nbsp;and Getty Images,&nbsp;each one featuring a female celebrity from the Black diaspora.&nbsp;Painted in the artist's distinct style of chromatic distortions and dizzying overabundance,&nbsp;this installation emphasizes the depersonalization of celebrities and dilutes their iconographic status by placing them within a visual sea of others. Coffee and bagels are served.What can we learn from artists today? CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts is a nonprofit exhibition venue and research institute dedicated to reflecting on this question through temporary exhibitions, public events, and in-depth research.&nbsp;It is part of California College of the Arts in San Francisco.Friday, July 14, 6pm-later...Tomorrow another dream will startEt al etc. &amp; Et al. books2831a Mission Street, San FranciscoEt al. is pleased to invite you to a party celebrating the San Francisco Art Book Fair and the openingof ...Tomorrow another dream will start - an exhibition curated by Wild Life Archive....Tomorrow another dream will start presents a survey of 1980’s nightclub ephemera fromthe Mediterranean island of Ibiza, focused primarily on the promotional posters distributed throughoutthe island during the summer season to publicize some of the world’s most renowned nightclubs ofthe era including Pacha, Amnesia, KU and Glory’s to name a few.The Balearic Islands had long been a bohemian escape attracting both pleasure seekers and those insearch of refuge from repressive political regimes. Ibiza in particular became a utopianparadise offering new arrivals both sanctuary and likeminded community. Hedonistic pursuitswere soundtracked via jazz bars during the 1950’s, psychedelic happenings in the 1960’s and withthe arrival of nightclubs on the island in the 1970s. By the 1980’s both free spirited holiday makersand the European jet-set had joined the party, further enhancing the uniquely decadent atmospherethat could be found nightly across the islands dance floors. Patrons danced with wild abandon underthe stars at open air disco’s like KU and Amnesia while listening to the local DJs eclectic mix ofgenres encompassing pop, rock, classical, new beat, house and flamenco among others, a discerninganything-goes selection that would in time become known as the Balearic Beat.The posters themselves were offset printed in small quantities and used only forpromotional purposes. The poster design, briefed in-house or commissioned to a freelance artist wasmost often a mix of hand drawn illustration and graphic design centered around the club logo andtheme of the night e.g. ’Luna Lena’, ‘Summer Dream’ and ‘Noche Romantica’. The few posters thatremain in private hands today help to further document the collective history of dance music culture.They also act as memories, inspiration and are beautiful pieces of art in their own right.Soundtrack: KhotinGraphic design: Daniel LucasFriday, July 14, 6-9pmI Can Feel You Dreaming: Taylor GallowayBook and Job Gallery838 Geary StreetSan Francisco, CA 94109Book and Job Gallery invite you to I Can Feel You Dreaming featuring work from Taylor Galloway’s latest release of the same name from Deadbeat Club. The pictures in Taylor Galloway’s I Can Feel You Dreaming are glimpses of things, sometimes slippery, peripheral, brief, furtive shadows in the margins; they’re slowly unraveling threads that you can’t quite follow back to anything, but that nonetheless feel like clues, pieces of a forensic puzzle; they’re trance visions, or something you briefly noticed while looking for something else. Perhaps they remind you of channel surfing through the foothills of sleep as you toss and turn in a motel bed, slowly emerging from a fever dream or hangover.Taylor Galloway is a photographer based in Los Angeles, CA. Galloway’s photographs explore the ideas of memory, navigation, and one’s own place in their journey. His work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe.Friday, July 14, 7:30pmA Barcode Scanner, Book Launch and Film ScreeningMedicine for Nightmares3036 24th StreetSan Francisco, CA 94110On Friday the 14th of July at 7:30pm, Gato Negro Ediciones will be having a book launch presentation at Medicine for Nightmares together with Zêdan Xelef and Shook for their new edition of the book: A Barcode Scanner.

To download the 2022 SFABF&nbsp;program guide, click here. The Lounge Friday, July 15 12-1pmPublishing Spaces: Chroma × Practise with Alexis Tompkins, Emily Poole, and James Goggin Chroma and Practise are both design studios with processes rooted in research and scholarship around art, architecture, design history, and contemporary culture. For Chroma, this work results in physical (and occasionally virtual) interior spaces (like this year’s SFABF public program space). For Practise, it manifests in digital and printed spaces (like some of the books on display at SFABF). Emily Poole (Brand Manager, Chroma) will moderate a discussion between Alexis Tompkins (Creative Partner, Chroma) and James Goggin (Partner, Practise) accompanied by a presentation showing a common spatial language evident in three particular projects: a virtual apartment, a printed zine, and a new quarterly online journal. 1-2pmFair Enough with Izet Sheshivari Fair Enough is an alliance of four independent art book publishers from Switzerland: Boabooks, edition fink, Jungle Books and tria publishing platform. They represent each other internationally at book fairs and jointly take care of the sales and distribution of publications. Izet Sheshivari from Boabooks and Fair Enough, will share more about how the alliance has realized alternative modes of book distribution in Japan as well as Switzerland. He will share notes of the alliance’s journey so far and share their experiences, as well as giving some insight into the ideas, relationships, and new public they have found with this model. Sponsored by Swissnex. 2-3pmPandemic Publics: Expansive Publishing Practices in a Time of Contagion with Josh Schaedel (Fulcrum Press), Zoë Taleporos and Sarah Hotchkiss (Premiere, Jr.) and Daniel J. Glendening (Labor is a Medium), moderated by Alex Lukas The delineation of roles within the field of artists’ publications is slippery. The ability to morph from artist to publisher to printer, organizer, curator, editor, or audience member is a hallmark of the medium. We are resourcefully multifaceted makers, and our publications are, in short, community affairs. As COVID-19 redefined the ways we interact, artists and publishers were forced to not only reconsider what it means to “make public” but what “public” itself entails. In the midst of this isolating time, the participants in this panel discussion redefined notions of shared space, proposed radical forums for community, and created new and expansive modes of collaboration. Our conversation will focus on these efforts to push and redefine what a publishing practice can encompass during a pandemic. Presented by Written Names Fanzine. 3-4pmWhat happens between the knots? BARBEDWIRE Scores performed by Phillip Greenlief What happens between the knots? is the third book in the annual A Series of Open Questions published by CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts and Sternberg Press. Each book in the series includes newly commissioned writing as well a selection of perspectives, images,&nbsp;and references related to the Wattis’s year-long research seasons dedicated to single artists.&nbsp;This third volume is informed by themes found in the work of Cecilia Vicuña,&nbsp;including ecofeminism,&nbsp;indigenous forms of knowledge,&nbsp;poetry and politics,&nbsp;dissolution and&nbsp;extinction,&nbsp;exile,&nbsp;dematerialization,&nbsp;regeneration,&nbsp;and environmental responsibility.For this book launch, musician Phillip Greenlief&nbsp;(tenor saxophone,&nbsp;Bb clarinet),&nbsp;Kyle Bruckmann&nbsp;(oboe,&nbsp;English horn),&nbsp;and&nbsp;Madalyn Merkey&nbsp;(live electronics)&nbsp;perform a selection of Greenlief’s graphic&nbsp;BARBEDWIRE Scores,&nbsp;some of which are included in What happens between the knots? When performing a score, each player improvises for a set duration, loosely following one of three lines as drawn by Greenlief.&nbsp;The shape of the line informs how much&nbsp;(or how little)&nbsp;the musicians change their improvisatory behavior.4-5pmThe Floating Museum by Lynn Hershman Leeson in conversation with David Senior The Floating Museum was a temporary museum that, over its lifetime, from 1974-1978 commissioned over 350 artists to create work that existed outside the very limited boundaries of traditional museum spaces. It was intended to “recycle space” wherever it existed, from the walls of San Quentin prison to the landscapes of Fort Point and even the Bay Area Rapid Transit Artists used mediums not yet accepted by traditional museums and galleries, such as performance, photography, comic drawings, video, soundscapes and all manner of site specific locations (though that term had not been yet invented). It was designed to be temporary. Its structure became the model for Creative Time and PS1, amongst others. Though the archive is in Stanford University’s Special Collections Library, its history was unknown. This was the motivation of this book, to make accessible this influential project so that it could be added to the history of that time. 5-6pmKeko Jackson &amp; Lava Thomas: In Conversation This conversation celebrates two new books, Keko Jackson: Restored/Access and Lava Thomas: Homecoming, published by Sming Sming Books. In Restored/Access, Jackson combines photography with archival materials from his uncle’s collection to share the history of Allensworth, the first town in California to be founded, financed, and governed exclusively by Black people. Homecoming brings together Thomas’s intricate drawing installations that explore personal and cultural narratives of bravery and survival, including a new body of work Decatur, about Thomas’s great-great- great-grandfather, Charles H. Arthur, and the eight-year- long legal battle to receive his army pension. Jackson and Thomas will be discussing their respective projects and the ways they draw upon Black family archives to create work, share US history, and build community. Presented by Sming Sming Books. Saturday, July 16 11am-12pmBay Area Contemporary Art Archive: Building a Community Archive The Bay Area Contemporary Art Archive (BACAA) is a public archive: a receptacle, preservation society and venue for the ephemera of Bay Area contemporary artists, venues and related projects. BACAA has been collecting and digitizing thousands of postcards, press releases, posters, zines, and more, while creating an online venue to preserve and share the work of our local art scene. BACAA founder Lexa Walsh will present an overview of the project and its vast contents, how Bay Area artists, curators and collectors can participate, and the importance of community-sourced archives. 12-1pmThe Southeast San Francisco Regional Portfolio: An Art-Based Conversation with 4 Neighborhoods The Southeast San Francisco Artists Portfolio is composed of print reproductions of work from artists of the four neighborhoods of Southeast SF. The Portfolio is designed to find its way into the hands of local residents via Chispa, a mobile cultural hub that houses the Portfolio and acts as a base for artistic exchange. Come hear from: artist and curator Kate Connell, who co-developed Chispa along with Book &amp; Wheel partner Oscar Melara; artist Amy Diaz-Infante, whose work was reproduced for the Portfolio; and Bayview historian Aliyah Dunn-Salahuddin, who will contextualize the project and its importance to the folx in Southeast SF. You’re invited to visit Chispa at SFABF, where you can trade for art from the Portfolio. 1-2pmI Got Something to Say: Poster Inventory, 2013-2021 by Draw Down Books The founders of Draw Down Books, graphic designers Christopher Sleboda and Kathleen Sleboda, will discuss their 2022 publication, I Got Something to Say — Poster Inventory, 2013–2021, with a contributor—graphic designer and educator Mary Yang; a frequent collaborator—illustrator Tim Lahan; and a colleague—graphic designer, educator and type designer Javier Viramontes. The panel will speak about poster design, participation in art books fairs as exhibitors, collectors, and designers; and collaborative publications that bring together different voices and perspectives. 2-3pmMedia Burn: Ant Farm and the Making of an Image with Chip Lord and Steve Seid In Media Burn, Ant Farm’s legendary 1975 performance, a radically customized Cadillac is driven through a wall of burning television sets. Media Burn: Ant Farm and the Making of an Image, by Steve Seid, is a vibrant assessment of the complex set of cultural references and art-making strategies informing this collision of twentieth-century icons. Chip Lord of Ant Farm and Steve Seid will discuss Media Burn alongside a narrated slideshow of images, ephemera, and more. Co-presented by Inventory Press and RITE Editions. 3-4pmStrikethrough: Radical Publications at Letterform Archive Letterform Archive’s next in-house exhibition is Strikethrough: Typographic Messages of Protest. In this sneak peek of the show, before it opens on July 23, co- curator Stephen Coles will present some highlights of special interest to Art Book Fair attendees: independent publications. From Fire!!, to The Crisis, from One to The Black Panther, activists throughout the 20th century wielded language, design, and newly accessible reproduction techniques to spread their message, empower communities, and fight oppression.4-5pmThe Last Survivor is the First Suspect, coming of age in Amerika with Nick Haymes A conversation with Nick Haymes about coming of age in Amerika based on his latest book. The Last Survivor is the First Suspect is at once a celebration and a requiem. The project, captured between 2005 and 2009 by photographer Nick Haymes, is a record of a drifting community of young friends based mainly between two distinct geographic points: Southern California and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The book’s narrative merges a sense of joy in documenting burgeoning friendships and bonds, and a looming sense of dread that would ultimately culminate in a series of tragedies. Haymes invites us to form a contemporary engagement with this specific historic moment, where things are both different and the same in equal measure. Presented by Kodoji Press.5-6pm Gravity Spells II: Bay Area New Music and Expanded Cinema Art, with John Davis and Konrad Steiner Recently released by Bimodal Press, Gravity Spells II is a multimedia “bundle” featuring 2 LPs, 4 DVDs, a perfect bound letterpress booklet, packaged in a hand-printed sleeve designed to give form to the ineffable - a physical set of transposable time-based variables that, when combined, approximate the uncanny and unpredictable inherent in live cinema and music performance. For this event, John Davis and Konrad Steiner will perform an improvisational collaboration that unites sound and image. John performs music to complement Konrad's performance collage of original 16mm loops and samples from feature films. Sunday, July 17 12-1pmRip Tales: Jay Defeo’s Estocada and Other Pieces by Jordan Stein with Dena Beard Curator and writer Jordan Stein in conversation with Dena Beard, executive director the The Lab, about Stein’s first book, Rip Tales: Jay DeFeo’s Estocada &amp; Other Pieces. In addition to DeFeo, Rip Tales concerns creation and destruction in the works and lives of artists Zarouhie Abdalian, April Dawn Alison, Ruth Asawa, Lutz Bacher, Bruce Conner, Dewey Crumpler, Trisha Donnelly, and Vincent Fecteau. Presented by Soberscove Press. 1-2pmThe HIV Howler in conversation with Anthea Black The HIV Howler is a global art newspaper published by Anthea Black and Jessica Whitbread that focuses on artists living with HIV. The paper is a forum for dialogue and a guide to navigating the vibrational ambiguities between art and AIDS policy, pathology, and community. Publisher Anthea Black will present on The HIV Howler editorial and wage equity work with poz artists, and host a dialogue with featured artists from recent themed issues on movement- migration, time+money, home, and spirit-substance. 2-3pmUBI SUNT with Blaise Agüera y Arcas and James Goggin Are we living in reality? Is this the past, or the future? And is there a human on the other side of this screen? These questions rear up and twist back on themselves in Ubi Sunt, a solipsistic first-person loop of a life in tech during COVID lockdown by Blaise Agüera y Arcas, a Fellow at Google Research who has invented AI and privacy technologies and written widely circulated essays at the intersections of machine intelligence, art, ethics, and social science. Is this book fiction or nonfiction? Though speculative, its historical material is accurate, and its present tense is drawn from life; some of its AI dialogs, too, are generated by interaction with a real large neural language model. Blaise will discuss the concept, influences, materiality, and collaborative process behind the book with graphic designer James Goggin, who will present the project’s print and digital editions with live projection. Presented by Hat &amp; Beard Press. 3-4pmSalones de belleza /The Beauty Salons: Writers &amp; poetas /Escritores &amp; Poets at AeromotoPresented by Gato Negro Ediciones Between 2017 and 2020, the Aeromoto public arts library in Mexico City organized a monthly series of bilingual readings, curated by Kit Schluter and Tatiana Lipkes. The gatherings, called Salón de belleza (Beauty Salon), brought together more than 70 poets and writers from many generations, contexts, and traditions, predominantly from Mexico and the United States, but also from various parts of Latin America and Europe. In these events, translation was used to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps between poets separated by political borders, and helped to create a space in which literatures of different origins and approaches could coexist. The result of this collective initiative was a unique cross-section of some of the most intriguing writing taking place in the Americas during the second decade of this century. Salones de belleza: Writers in Aeromoto gathers work from these writers—in a completely bilingual edition—many of whom are appearing in translation for the first time. 4-5pmCassandra Press Artist Zine series with a performative lecture by Christine Wang Curated by Kandis Williams, the Cassandra Press Artist Zine series consists of contributions from a community of BIPOC artists, scholars, writers, and poets with the intention of asking such questions as: how can print formats like scripts, newspapers, and pamphlets be activated to produce new associations? And what voice or voices can we represent in simultaneity on the page? How does the virtual page act and operate in our social economies? The series includes artists manuel arturo abreu, Hannah Black, Rhea Dillon, Boz Garden, Christine Wang, and Charlotte Zhang, with future iterations to come. For this event, Christine Wang, who is featured in the 2022 Cassandra Press Artist Zine series, will be giving a performative lecture on personal art expenses in the hopes of improving artists’ financial literacy and increasing financial transparency. Media Room Ongoing - LOOP The Abominable Freedomby Torsten Zenas Burns and Darrin MartinRandom Man Editions (41 mins / 2006) Originally shot video and appropriated film weaves together a musical celebration of the flesh, an egg from the missing link holds a skeleton key to our educational future. On a parallel world, life coaches made of bone and fur activate televisual coursework including circular zooming studies, cryptid folklore, spectral-mating, and etheric birthing techniques. Manifest destiny eludes its colonial past and takes refuge deep in our pagan libidinal nature.Psychology Todayby Extreme AnimalsRandom Man Editions (30 mins / 2021) In information theory, the repetition of messages tends towards the obliteration of meaning. This theorem is vitally demonstrated in Extreme Animals’ 2021 video Psychology Today, which traces the algorithmically accelerated decomposition of images from the post-millennial cultural imaginary: Shrek, the Joker, and other depressive icons of our interminable financial crisis inspire a legion of exhausted reenactments by children’s birthday party workers and freelance Blender artists. Interwoven with motivational programming staged at depreciating levels of conviction, the final assembly speaks not so much to the experience of overstimulation as to the unique combination of sensory hypertrophy and apathy characteristic of life post-2020.Sarah Klein Puts Paper to MotionMisty Quartet, Sing the Hits, Stir the Beat, Fall Girl, Misty Duet(15 mins / 2013-2021) For the 2022 SFABF, Sarah Klein is presenting her books, posters, calendars and prints, under her Lower Falls imprint, as well as animations in the media room. Her work draws from personal and imagined iconographies that she spans fluidly between serialized, sequenced, and book forms. She looks to images for stories whose telling might be hidden or only suggested. Lone Star is a collaboration with David Kwan. Fall Girl includes music by Synchronized Watches.Works on Paper: Animated Films by Meghana Bisineer, Martha Colburn, Jennifer Levonian, Peter Millard, Johan Rijpma, Paloma Trecka, Selina Trepp, curated by Clark Buckner and Sarah Klein. Presented by Telematic Media Arts. Telematic is pleased to present Works on Paper, a curated screening of animated films by artists working with paint, paper, drawing, cut-out collage, and sculpture to produce time-based, moving image works. Attending to tangible materials, the films in this screening simultaneously foreground the artistic process and the labor required for their own creation. They mark the passage of time as chronicles of physical change. And they show how – with the right degree of creative imagination, focused attention, and sustained physical effort – the world is open to re-invention. But I Love The Zine by Fiona McDougall (16 mins / 2019) But I Love The Zine is a short documentary exploring the enduring love in the Bay Area for zines — self-published, accessible, often artistic publications that offer an antidote to the disconnectedness of internet culture. In this documentary, viewers are introduced to a thriving small press community through interviews with publishers in their studios and at festivals like the East Bay Alternative Book and Zine fest. It features zine makers such as: Raphael Villet, Jeffrey Cheung, Max Stadnik, Jess Wu, and OMCA curator, Carin Adams, among others. Produced and Directed by Fiona McDougall.Zium by Most Ancient(60 mins / 2022) Visit the Most Ancient arcade, a collection of point and click adventure games and surreal Virtual Reality worlds. Walk through an eroded habitat with ominous messaging, visit Zium: part zine and part museum walking simulator, and move through an eerie funhouse to discover hidden stories. Tennesee Street Saturday, July 16 11-6pmSoutheast San Francisco Artists Portfolio with Chispa Chispa is a roving art cart the size of a parade float. Wherever Chispa appears in Southeast San Francisco you’ll find art, music and performances by Southeast SF artists. Chispa is a cross-cultural pollinator building connections between the Bayview/Hunters Point, The Excelsior, The Portola and Visitacion Valley. Sometimes Chispa events spread out on blankets for storytelling and neighborhood games, sometimes she broadcasts poetry, music and soundscapes.

Guests from all points on the artist-curator-dealer-collector spectrum board a gondola up to the recording booth – Altitude, an alpine-island bar in an undisclosed, altitudinous San Francisco location – for conversation and cocktails. Listeners are treated to a rollicking agenda of absurd segments, including “Art Crimes,” “eBay Today,” “Let’s Ask Tantum,” “Bartender’s Ballyhoo,” and intel regarding local openings and calls for work. Join us for a multi-part, LIVE recording at the 2022 San Francisco Art Book Fair.Ideomotor Drawing Sessions with Stephen LichtyBook an appointment - July 15, 16, 17 Stephen Lichty is taking appointments with individuals for his ongoing practice of automatic collaborative drawing. Each 30 minute session results in two identical carbon-transfer drawings, produced after holding a pen to a stack of papers with another person and allowing the shared non-conscious movement of the pen to determine the work. Sessions will take place during the fair on Tennessee St. &nbsp; Project RoomBoo-Hooray Presents Underground Film: Jack Smith, John Waters, Andy Warhol Boo-Hooray is proud to present an exhibition of ephemera and unseen photography from Jack Smith and the Lobster Landlordism, Andy Warhol and His Cronies, the Wonderful World of John Waters, and Kenneth Anger’s Leather Daddy Occultism. Most of these artifacts have never before been publicly exhibited. Centered on the work of four defining figures of American underground film and gay sensibility, the exhibition discloses these filmmakers’ working processes and the development of their singular visual vocabularies. The photography, ephemera, and artwork contextualize each figure in the larger cultural milieus they invented, worked in, and confronted: the respective vibrant cultural scenes Warhol and Waters cultivated, Smith’s bellicose relationship to the New York underground film scene, and Anger’s clique of thelemite Hollywood aesthetes. Included in the exhibition is behind-the-scenes photography of filmmaking and partying at The Factory; ephemera from the production, publicity, and distribution of John Waters’ early films; artwork, flyers, and photography documenting Jack Smith’s filmmaking and performance practice, as well as state repression of his work; and photography and ephemera spanning nearly 20 years of Kenneth Anger’s queer, occult filmmaking. Together, these materials highlight the working and social lives of four legends of queer and underground cinema. Boo-Hooray is dedicated to the organization, stabilization, and preservation of the 20th and 21st century cultural movements, specializing in ephemera, photography, and book arts. We place artists' and organizations' archives with universities and museums, publish and sell rare books, photography, ephemera, and art, and stage exhibitions all over the world. This exhibition includes guest curation by San Francisco’s own Chris Veltri of Groove Merchant Records.

The book, titled Project BlackMass, never went to press, but it was quickly acquired by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Studies. The publisher has gone on to produce zines and books by Black artists, with visuals, prose and poetry, many of which have also been acquired by various collecting institutions. They take an experimental, improvisational approach to visual language and pay particular attention to the physicality of their projects. “My rule is, I’ll print on anything as long as it’ll feed through the printer,” says Hassan. In recent months, frequent collaborator and founding member Kwamé Sorrell launched an international mail-art initiative to continue and expand the conversation around Black art across the diaspora. Hassan and Sorrell continue to work in tandem in developing programming around Black storytelling through print media. <img width="750" height="750" width_o="750" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9924d5c65485a3b1cbca0e7cdafca45f8676bb2556636525f33dc46ef14cfa69/5-Issue1.jpg" data-mid="113210493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/9924d5c65485a3b1cbca0e7cdafca45f8676bb2556636525f33dc46ef14cfa69/5-Issue1.jpg" />Devin N.

Download the 2019 SF Art Book Fair Program Guide. THE LOUNGE Saturday, July 20 12-1pm&nbsp; Harm Reduction, with Jen Shear Interdisciplinary artist, Jen Shear, will discuss the opioid epidemic and its impact on her creative community. Here she’ll address why certain social, cultural, political, and economic factors make some low-income artists vulnerable to addiction, and how the spread of harm reduction practices can help save lives. 1-2pm "Brancusi-like" sculpture, Strange Fruit, and defaced record covers Greg Wooten, author of "Marred For Life!" (J&amp;L Books, 2019) will discuss his experiences as a professional "picker", and his 13 all-time best flea market finds, including a giant pewter tooth and a painting by an orangutan. Presented by Jason Fulford. 2-3pm REEL, by Paul Clipson In celebration of the newly revised 3rd edition of Paul Clipson's book: REEL, Land and Sea are pleased to present a 16mm film screening- A collection of Paul's favorite footage from 2017. The film was last projected in silence at his memorial at SFMoMA last year. For this screening a live score will be provided by Amma Ateria. 3-4pm Steven Leiber Catalogs A public program on Steven Leiber and his dealer catalogs.

Panelists include: Alexandra Bowes (art collector), Arnaud Desjardin (artist and owner of The Everyday Press) Amber Hasselbring (former Steven Leiber Basement Manager) David Kasprzak (artist and co-owner of Colpa Press) and Adam Michaels (designer of Steven Leiber Catalogs and owner of Inventory Press.) 4-5pm Meaningfulosity: a discussion with Anne Lesley Selcer Wolfman Books’ new publication, Blank Sign Book, approaches art writing premised on the idea that it can contain anything, except detached authority. Engaging the relationship between politics and art—in the streets, on the screen, in the book, in the feminist meeting, and in the museum—this literary and experimental collection meets art with its own febrile and fecund energies. Author Anne Lesley Selcer will discuss her practice, and welcome a discussion with other artist-writers and writers devoted to art. 5-6pm Lento Violento, with Rosa Tyhurst Lento Violento is a style of electronic dance music that Torinese DJ Gigi D’Agostino developed in the early 2000s. Italian for slow and violent, lento violento has elements of a hardcore or hardstyle sound played at a very slow tempo, usually between 85 and 115 BPM. Developed from research for a recent exhibition and book that considered dance music culture in Italy, Rosa Tyhurst will consider lento violento’s emergence within a post-industrial, Berlusconi-era Italy and hypothesize about slow and violent artistic practices today. Sunday, July 21 12-1pm DEATH BY TECHNOMANCY, with Micki Meng and Tatiana Vahan San Francisco is a city that founded a slow food movement, hosts a strong maker culture, and privileges communing with nature, yet is also the birth city of AI and computer technology. As industry shifts, Meng, founder of the new publishing and partnership initiative &amp;Art&amp;, and Vahan, founder of Los Angeles Artist Census and bar-fund, discuss the contemporary moment, its paradoxes, and different support structures for artists and art workers in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. 1-2pm All Possible Futures 3, with Jon Sueda and Chris Hamamoto All Possible Futures: Unrealized Archive uncovers “unrealized” graphic design projects that consumed many hours—sometimes years—of work, but were never produced. These fascinating proposals—ranging in form from PDFs to photos, dummies, models, and sketches—remain unmade but are deserving of serious discussion. Issue #3: Large Format will feature unrealized works that explore extreme scale in some way. To launch this latest issue Jon Sueda and Chris Hamamoto will give a short presentation on the history of the project and the latest issue, and moderate a discussion with a panel of participants in the project. 2-3pm April Dawn Alison, with Andrew Masullo and Erin O’Toole April Dawn Alison was published by MACK to accompany an exhibition of the same name now on view at SFMOMA. The book features previously unseen Polaroids made over the course of thirty years by April Dawn Alison, the feminine persona of male photographer Alan Shaefer, based in Oakland. Erin O’Toole, curator of the exhibition and editor of the book, will discuss Alison’s work with the painter Andrew Masullo, who gave Alison’s archive to the museum. 3-4pm Lazy Painter, by Side Issues The book 'Lazy Painter’ turns a robot vacuum cleaner into an artist. It combines technology and art, as a result of a workshop ‘design by rules’&nbsp; with students of Lucern – and reflects on the human-machine relationship in creation. Furthermore, it exemplifies a series of Side Issues publications about science, history, art and visual culture from the point of view of a committed dilettante. 4-5pmnkiruka oparah x 2727 Using repetition, drawing, and writing, this workshop series explores how we can use our dreams to illuminate non-linear possibilities, future &amp; ancestral knowledge, and map inner landscapes and time-scales. The workshop will also include practical tools for sustaining a dream practice, as well as plants/herbs that can support us in recentering and being at home in our bodies.

Senior presents a broad range of examples of how artists and designers have used little publications as experimental containers for new ideas, creating lively and accessible spaces to communicate work and archive art actions. These examples will come from the collection of books that he now works with at SFMOMA Library and several past library exhibitions he organized of artists’ books, magazines and ephemera while working at MoMA in New York.2:30-3:30 PM - The LoungeWe Can Create Life Without War. - Corita Kent &amp; Californian RadicalismAtelier Éditions - Corita Art Center Director, Dr. Ray Smith &amp; SFMOMA Associate Curator of Architecture &amp; Design, Joseph Becker Radical American artist, educator and once-devout Catholic nun, Corita Kent’s remarkable serigraphy has entranced audiences for decades. Drawing upon the Left Coast’s long heritage of art-radicalism, and the several artists, such as Kent, then courageously excavating the nation’s tortured conscience, a panel dialogue will collectively examine that tumultuous era of American art-making, the catalysts and enduring legacy of such. As well as the necessity of art-radicalism and creative resistance within our equally tumultuous political and cultural landscapes today. Developed by Atelier Éditions, the panel dialogue is lead by Corita Art Center Director, Dr. Ray Smith, and SFMOMA Associate Curator of architecture and design, Joseph Becker. 3:30-4 PM - The LoungeKunstCapades LIVE4-5 PM - The LoungeRTS talks: Macon Reed and Leila Weefur Real Time and Space Real Time and Space (RTS) is an art studio and artist residency program in Oakland, CA.

Participants will help the artist create a simple impromptu crystal grid. The aim of the grid is to create space for protection, healing, loss and truth and at the same time give space to release anything that is no longer serving a purpose. The artist talk will also include a discussion about her artist’s book and 12 year project, People are a light to Love. And Veronica will reflect on recent current events, recent deaths, and general reflections surrounding how we process and measure intimacy, love and loss. Veronica will show images of her work and bring objects related to her art practice for the audience to interact with during the event. The last 15 minutes will be dedicated to Q and A, book signing andclosing of the crystal grid.OFFSITE6-730PM - McEvoy Foundation for the Arts - 1150 25th Street 2016 in Museums, Money, and Politics: A Discussion with Andrea Fraser, Jamie Stevens and Rob ReichPresented by CCA Wattis for Contemporary Arts This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. RSVP to wattisrsvp@cca.edu by July 17. At the end of our 2014-2015 Andrea Fraser research season, The Wattis Institute invited the artist to publish a book with us. Much has happened in our country in the last few years, and Fraser has felt an urgent need to respond. In partnership with Westreich Wagner Publications and MIT Press, the Wattis has co-published her timely new book 2016 in Museum, Money, and Politics (2018). We launch the book with a discussion between Fraser, former Wattis Curator &amp; Head of Programs Jamie Stevens (now of Artists Space), and Stanford Professor of Political Science Rob Reich. The event is followed by a book signing with the author.2016 was unlike any other election cycle that came before it. It was the most expensive election in this country’s history with over $6.4 billion raised for presidential and congressional races combined. More than half of this money came from just a few hundred people—many of whom also support cultural institutions and serve on their boards. In a 900-page book organized like a telephone directory, Fraser documents the reported political contributions made by trustees of more than 125 art museums.Andrea Fraser is an artist and professor of art at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Museum Highlights: The Writings of Andrea Fraser, among other books.6:30-8:30PM - Catharine Clark Gallery - 248 Utah StreetAfterparty and reception to celebrate the release of Sandow Birk’s Proposal for a Monument to the Declaration of Independence (and a Pavilion to Frederick Douglass) with Sandow Birk and Mullowney Printing, plus a viewing of new drawings.7PM-10PM - Gallery 16 - 501 3rd StreetPEACE JAZZLive music event at Gallery 16 featuring Andy Cabic, Sonny Smith and the Leakers, and Tommy Guerrero with Matt Rodriguez, Louie Senor and House.

Butler, Jonathan Runcio and Bob Linder. ARENA is Rodrigo Valenzuela's first solo exhibition in the Bay Area and consists of sixty feet of photocopy transfers on canvas wrapping around the interior of the gallery. Considering the ideology of Manifest Destiny and the failures of the Homestead Acts that quickened the settlement of public land in the American West, Valenzuela's images invoke these ideas of expansion and opportunity and, at the same time, painful histories of erasure that resonate with present-day debates on immigration, border control, gentrification, and climate change.

By joining us here, you will be a part of a collective extending beyond this initial meeting in cultivating material for a publication yet to be realized. And of course, there will be soup and a pile of something.

This spread takes into account karmic, societal, and psychological forces, each essential in the quest for self-knowledge. The spread also invites stories within stories (and themes within themes) to unfold–and, in this way, more closely mirrors the complexity of life. In addition to Marple’s readings, MSP Editions will launch the Art World Tarot Ed. II Deck at the SF Art Book Fair this weekend.

Meet artists who have copyrighted their own mind, let the world send messages to US and UK spies, sold real estate in the extra dimensions of space-time, hired people to live the same lives across the world, and attempted to genetically engineer God. As part of our current exhibition, Mental Work, we present artists with strategies that dismantle boundaries between art and society.&nbsp;No recording is allowed: be there to get a glimpse into the secrets of conceptual art practices. 8-BALL ZINE FAIR SF EDITION #5 Sunday July 22nd - 11am-5pm - 1150 25th St - Parking Lot8-Ball Community Inc. is an independent not-for-profit organization that — through free, open-access platforms and events — nurtures and supports a community of artists. We provide virtual and physical meeting sites for people of all ages, gender and backgrounds. Our mission is to generate collaborative and educational exchange through public access television and radio stations, an imprint, a self publishing fair, a public library, an internship program, a residency and series of workshops in art-related trades. 8-Ball Community operates free of elitism and is governed by its participants.8-Ball Zine Fair started in 2012 at Grand Billiards in Brooklyn, NY. It usually happens in a pool hall, and has been reproduced in other cities around the world. The Drop Off table, placed at the centre of the fair, also represents the core of the community, un-selected and free, allows everyone to participate and show their work.8-Ball Zine Fair is free for exhibitors and guests and happens yearly in New York and San Francisco.For this year's SF edition, we will be located in the parking lot (1150 25th St) of the SF Art Book Fair, put together by Minnesota Street Project, Colpa Press, and Park Life. We have encouraged publishers to break the mold of the traditional zine/book fair and present their work out of the trunks of their cars or on picnic blankets.

SUNDAY, JULY 23RD 11AM-12PM Heavy Breathing: Martial Arts for Feminist Journos with Sarah Burke In this experimental workshop, attendees will collectively undermine the historic valorization of hyper-masculinized approaches to journalism by learning to value approaches of empowered passivity through practicing the feminist concept of "circlusion" (the antonym of "penetration") and the martial arts concept of "ukemi," the art of receiving a throw. 12-1PM Tsunaminagashi: Marbling Workshop with Sto Len Suminagashi or “floating ink,” is a paper marbling process that originated in Japan by Shinto monks in the 12th century. This process produces mono prints by painting patterns directly onto the surface of water with ink, laying down a piece of paper, and removing after a few seconds. For this workshop, Sto will give a talk about his explorations in the studio and on the boat and then guide us through the process of suminagashi, where we will make multiple prints on paper. 2-3PM SFABF Booky Mascot signings and photos presented by Ry Allred, Eva Gibeau and Ricki Dwyer MEDIA ROOM SATURDAY, JULY 22ND 11AM-1:30PM The Muybridge Mausoleum, a virtual reality art installation presented by Most Ancient. Most Ancient presents a Virtual Reality station showcasing “The Muybridge Mausoleum”. This VR art installation playfully blends elements of shadow play, 19th century magic lantern shows, and early film set design. We like to think of it as a cinema for neanderthals. For the launch of our first VR project we made a limited edition companion book and screen print for SFABF, available at the Most Ancient booth M8. Both are experimental examples of spinning out content from virtual spaces into print. 2:30-3PM Joan Jonas is on our mind screening presented by the CCA Wattis InstituteThe Wattis recently published "Joan Jonas is on our mind," a book that accompanies their first year-long research season, about and around the work of Joan Jonas.

PARTICIPATING GALLERIES SATURDAY, JULY 22ND 12PM From Counterculture to Cyberculture panel discussion with Fred Turner, David Lewis, K.r.m. Mooney and Jon Winet, moderated by Natasha Boas - at Altman Siegel (1150 Minnesota Street) This exhibition is inspired by, and named in honor of, Fred Turner’s important history, From Counterculture to Cyberculture. The exhibition is not, however, a literal history. Rather: it extrapolates from Turner’s historical arc in order to present a matrix of contemporary concerns, and emerging artists whose ways of thinking are enmeshed in those concerns. From Turner's research it develops a historical conceit for art-making in the present. A web of possibilities. 2-3PM Anouk Kruithof Book Launch at Casemore Kirkeby 3-4PM Hung Liu and Maria Porges: Between Artist and Writer at Rena Bransten Please join us for a conversation with artist Hung Liu and writer/artist Maria Porges as they discuss the relationship between visual art and critical art writing.
