MULTIPLE ART DAYS

THE ART FAIR DEVOTED TO A WIDE RANGE OF CONTEMPORARY ART EDITIONS

For its seventh edition, MAD returns to the FIMINCO Foundation in Romainville, on the outskirts of Paris, easily accessible by metro. This monumental, 14-meter-high factory room, now transformed into an enormous exhibition space measuring 1000m², is ideal for presenting a wide spectrum of contemporary editions, from zines to rare objects: prints, multiples, artists' books, videos, vinyls...

Co-curated by Sylvie Boulanger, director of the cneai=, and printer-publisher Michael Woolworth, Atelier Woolworth, MAD will invite visitors to discover one hundred international art publishers and thousands of artworks and publications, talks and performances, as well as the seventh edition of ADAGP × MAD’s Revelation Artist’s Book Award.

Much more than a fair, MAD revolves around the figure of the publisher, the most independent and versatile actor in today's art world: 100 international publishers, selected for the quality of their prospectus; in an original setting designed by Roch Deniau.

Manche Künstlerbücher schreiben Geschichte, wie Twentysix Gasoline Stations von Ed Ruscha. Und manche Künstlerbücher werden von anderen zitiert, interpretiert und appropriiert, wie ebendieses.

Exposition du programme "Déjouer Flaubert" conçu par le Frac dans le cadre du bicentenaire de la naissance de Gustave Flaubert.

Vernissage vendredi 17 septembre à 18h

Non loin de Rouen, la commune de Canteleu conserve une gravure de 1635 de Jacques Callot illustrant La Tentation de Saint-Antoine. À l’appui de l’ouvrage de Flaubert, de cette gravure, et de la collection de livres d’artiste du Frac, Ludovic Burel, commissaire, artiste et éditeur, propose de relire ce poème en prose sous l’angle de la désacralisation, en prenant pour point de départ les sept péchés capitaux.

The global publishing industry is still dominated by gatekeepers in the Global North. To what extent does the colonial gaze shape the art book market? How is it possible to decolonize the art book industry? The evening centers around two recently published publications: Decolonizing Art Book Fairs – Publishing Practices from the Souths is a workbook with primarily newly commissioned texts and interviews with artists, authors and publishers.

“In every discipline artistic theory is little avail without unremitting exercise, but especially in mnemonics, theory is almost valueless unless made good by industry, devotion, toil, and care. You can make sure that you have as many places as possible and that these conform as much as possible to the rules; in placing the images you should exercise every day.”

Since 2005, Printed Matter’s Art Book Fairs have hosted international exhibitors featuring a wide variety of works—from zines and artists’ books to rare and out of print publications, and contemporary art editions. This new Fair expanded upon the rich tradition of our longrunning and beloved NY and LA Art Book Fairs, including over 400 exhibitors from 43 countries, with online programs, performances, games, and more.

In 1972, Ulises Carrión took a single poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and churned it through 44 typographic and procedural permutations. The result was SONNET(S), a departure from Carrión’s earlier poetry and one of the earliest in a long and influential series of “bookworks.”
