Hello again! This month, and the next one, we are on fairs! The first one is Arts Libris, is a Artist book fair in Barcelona, organized by Raíña Lupa and Arts Santa Mònica.

(copy from the web): Arts Libris will take place from the 23rd until the 27th of April in the Arts Santa Mònica Centre. As in previous editions, the opening will coincide with Sant Jordi: the Catalan national holiday that celebrates literature, books as art pieces, experimental graphic design and special editions. In relation to Michel Butor’s quote: “In the future, the few books in which we will be interested, will be the ones considered artworks”, Arts Libris is working for this future to be full of fascinating, pleasant and stimulating editions and books.

Poster by Clara-Iris Ramos, beautiful!

On 9 and 10 of May, we have the D.I.Y. supreme fair on Hangar: Gutter Fest. We went there the last year and was really good! Music, comics, photozines and lots of screenprints. Like in Arts Libris (and as usual on all the fairs we are going), we are going to have music from Orgonomy Records, specially the last cd Blue Birds Dominion.

And, don't forget to follow the Zines of the Zone tour! Last photographs we saw, from Budapest, we saw Internet romance and Altres tafaners! Good to see the stuff published travelling around Europe!

Zines of the zone are continuing the route. Was nice to see the red cover of Carles Palacio photozine "Capitalismo Barbarie" on the front at the Siva gallery in Zagreb (Croatia)! Click here to see next cities where ZNZN would be.

Zines of the Zone: Barcelona

The CFD hall

Ana Zaragoza García photobook "La famille poirot 1", we love it!

Yep, so Tuesday we made a short visit to the Zines of the zone event in CFD (Creació de Fotografía Documental) in Barcelona, organized with the Photobook Club Barcelona. We couldn't stay in the they did, but we take a look at the collection and we can guarantee that it's a valuable treasure.

We had the chance to have a look at the Booklet version of "Stories" named "Afterword".

I hope the next city on the tour: Vevey, Switzerland (you can see the full list here), can enjoy our photozines and collage zines, because we left a good pile.
