On Saturday I participated in Jennifer Sullivan‘s Fall Collection event as part of The Classroom. The Fall Collection fashion show was a launch party for issue one of Threads magazine which Jennifer edits along with artist Jenn Brehm. I hope to do an interview with Jennifer and Jenn about their magazine in the next few months. Here are some photographs of the fashion show:

One of the highlights of The Fair was the Triple Canopy event in The Classroom. This included a visit from special guest “Robert Rauschenberg,” (even though he died in the spring of 2008) at The Invisible Grammer: A Tribute to Aspen’s ” Time Silence and Reduction, and Language” issue on its 42nd Anniversary. “Rauschenberg” in conversation with Andres Laracuente told the story of his famous drawing Erased De Kooning, 1953. The story was told beautifully.
In my final tour around PS1 I walked past familiar magazine vendors ZingMagazine, Art on Paper, mono.kultur, the journal, Frieze, Gagarin,… At the Golden Age stand I found these two new magazines: Proximity Magazine from Chicago, IL and Evergreen from Melbourne, Australia. I hope to get my hands on them again and give them more attention on this blog.
I also checked out FOIL and IANN, two magazines published by FOIL from Asia:
In addition to all the magazines I perused, I looked at artists books on the tables of some of my favorite independent publishers Regency Arts Press Ltd., and Art Resources Transfer (A.R.T.) Press. I didn’t get anything from Regency Arts Press this year, but I did speak with Lauren Wittels who told me about two exciting upcoming events. Open Book is going to be an interactive online catalogue of books made by artists and independent publishers. The site will be launched in early 2010 and the first open-call for submissions took place on Saturday Oct. 17th X-Initiative in Chelsea. Also coming up is the Art Book Swap at The Museum of Modern Art on Saturday Feb. 6th, 2010.
