Among the materials visitors will find are artists' books, zines, monographs, art catalogs and periodicals. The fair will also host curated projects by San Francisco's Arion Press, London's FAWW, Komiyama Tokyo and Seoul's SNU Design.
International arts organization KADIST will take over the media room to screen a selection of videos by artists Lou Fauroux, Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, and the Mexican arts collective Interspecifics. Talks and special projects curated by David Senior, director of library at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, will take place inside the fair's new lounge space.
On the final day, fair founders Jamie Alexander of Park Life, Luca Antonucci of Colpa Press and artist David Kasprzak plan to be in conversation with Senior about the evolution of such fairs across the globe.
