What You’re Doing This Weekend: Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair
My love of print began in elementary school with the Weekly Reader. Here was a magazine that tailored to my adolescent interests (pandas, weaving, outer space) and you could also buy books from it. Last night I checked out the opening of NYC bookstore Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair at MOCA and could barely contain myself. I mean, a museum that I love and you can buy books from it?
Baggleridge
New from the rad guys at Never Press: Baggleridge by Robert Hardgrave. These are “3-4 layer Risograph Prints on ivory paper.” There were 140 made: get it while you can.
