L.A. ART BOOK FAIR

DoPe Press is extremely happy to see the return of the Printed Matter–LA Art Book Fair to the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. We will be in section H07 on the main level.

Our newest publications—the journal PARIS LA 16: “The Fashion and Writing Issue” and the artist’s book …my life in the sunshine—Liz Craft 2006–2017—will be available, as well as our back catalogue and a selection of out-of-print titles.

For art and fashion lovers: In 2013 the artist Max Hooper Schneider created a silk scarf edition with P.P.M. Studio, Milan. We are offering the edition for purchase, as well as his last available original artwork from this series—dense, hand-drawn graphic lines recalling imaginative worlds and biologies—which will be part of a forthcoming book published by DoPe Press in September 2019.

In addition, we have invited some friends and family from Paris to share their publications and journals: Paraguay Press, MAY, and Profane.

lightbox_Screen_Shot_2014-06-28_at_6.29.25_PM

Queer Zines 2 and the Queer Zines boxed set was released on the occasion of AA Bronson’s exhibition at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam last September. In February, at the LA Art Book Fair, the books were released in the U.S. along with an exhibition of some of the zines featured in the publications. The new volume and boxed set were produced after the popularity of the first edition, which sold out. This Thursday at 8:30pm at Pro qm in Berlin, AA Bronson, along with Yusuf Etiman of ‘Basso,’ Vincent Simon of ‘Dildo’ and ‘GayHouse,’ and Dean Sameshina of ‘Young Men at Play’ will be signing copies of the books. Vincent Simon will also release the new and final issue of GayHouse, a full-color sexual romp by Tom de Pekin. Selected additional issues of GayHouse will also be available for signing and purchase.
