NYABF Book Trailers Screening
Hauser & Wirth, 443 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011
The NY Art Book Fair presents a special screening of exhibitor book trailers, hosted in the theater at Hauser & Wirth. Stop by 18th St. to watch the videos, which are an amalgam of processes, punchlines, and poetry–each trailer becoming a micro-work of its own as they gesture towards publishing identities and individual works.
Poetry Reading: Cecilia Vicuña & Jena Osman. RSVP here.
Hauser & Wirth, 443 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011
Please join Hauser & Wirth Publishers in collaboration with Printed Matter and Book Works for a special reading of poems by Cecilia Vicuña and Jena Osman, on the occasion of the NY Art Book Fair and the release of the new, expanded facsimile edition of Vicuña’s ‘Saborami’ from Book Works.
Cecilia Vicuña created ‘Saborami’ in the aftermath of the September 1973 military coup in Chile. Combining poetry, journal entries and documentation of artworks, the book was published in Devon, England in a limited edition of hand-made copies by the artist-led Beau Geste Press. Though the book is highly regarded, it has also been hard to access.
This new and expanded facsimile edition restates ‘Saborami’ as a central example of artistic engagement in material and revolutionary resistance.
Book Launch with Elina Birkehag, with Spector Books.
D For Daughter at 58 Park Ave, New York, NY 10016.
