A Selection of Printed Matter. an ephemeral bookshop will provide the public with an opportunity of discovering books and printed projects intended as works of art. An artist project intended and produced with the characteristics inherent to publishing becomes a playground and an experimentation field for the artist.
Zirkumflex, a Berlin based project platform, presents a selection of independent artists’ and publishers’ works from around the world in an exclusive collaboration. From march 18 until may 20 2011, an ephemeral bookshop will provide the public with an opportunity of discovering books and printed projects intended as works of art.
Much like a 'book mark' will set apart a page from others in order to resume ones reading at a later time, or to retrieve a quote, Bookmark offers you the time to explore the vast art book edition landscape and to discover projects or research matter by various artists in their published form. A work of art intended and produced with the characteristics inherent to publishing becomes a playground and an experimentation field for the artist.
Halfway between a book fair and a bookshop, Bookmark is primarily intended as an exhibition area dedicated to showcasing a selection of books and objects by various artists, giving visitors the opportunity of purchasing exclusive copies of books of all kinds. It will also provide space for the launching and presentation of various printed items.

About Zirkumflex
Zirkumflex (“circumflex” written in German) is a multi-purpose structure created in April 2010 in Berlin, emerging from the combination of a graphic conception studio and of a project gallery animated by a calendar of events and exhibits. Zirkumflex defines itself as the point of convergence of various artistic skills brought together by graphic design and interacting with emerging contemporary creation. since the beginning of its activities, Zirkumflex has exhibited and published the works of international visual artists, photographers, illustrators and designers, each exhibit leading to its own publication.
