Portland Phoenix | Why Not Make Things?: The brilliant New England Art Book Fair converges this weekend at SPACE | Arts

It’s impossible to discuss our love of the New England Art Book Fair (which is intense) without indexing it proportionally to our hatred of the internet (which is depthless and ever-expanding). It’s true — the more time we spend on the web, the more incredible it is to see artists working through ideas and story forms on real-ass printed matter in the material world.

On October 5 and 6, the NEABF transforms SPACE into a miniature village of avant-garde printed mattter from over 30 artists from around the U.S. hand-printed art books, limited-edition zines, tender propaganda, identity mapping, and next-level design.
