Offprint

Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris

Offprint Paris is an Art Publishing fair for emerging practices in Art. During 4 days, it gathers institutional and independent publishers from all over the world, featuring the publications of contemporary artists, graphic designers, photographers, publishers, bookdealers, museums, art schools, curators and antiquarians. Offprint Paris is organized by Offprint projects, a research platform investigating:
– the future of Art mediations: traditional medias (books, museums or schools) are affected by a new dominant form of mediation (internet), how do traditional frames react and what shape or form would it take? What will be the digital art frames? – the future of Art activities such as publishing, curating and teaching.
– the future of concepts such as ‘artist’, ‘artwork’, ‘art world’, ‘amateurs’ while considering a (possible) dissolving aspect of the internet on usual concepts used to perceive the art world.

Lectures, Sunday 17th
An invitation to la Dérive (Chapter I), curated by Charlotte Cheetham
This sunday takes the form of a Dérive (in English Drift) - inspired by Guy Debord - through the territory of independ- ent publishing and artist’s book, inviting Offprint visitors to take various paths within this large and rich landscape. A Dérive in the sense that it is, concurrently with the book fair, to discover some of the projects and their authors, in- vited for their ideas, creations and experiences in this very active field of independent publishing in art and design. As advocated by Guy Debord, the program is built around several specific ambiances, highlighted: the main idea be- ing to let go of expectations and habits and to just wander among pleasant encounters.
The Dérive is also, in french, the digression between the path and the direction, and this is precisely what the public is invited to do, on overhangs, margins and horizons of the book format, wandering through these intentions, these ges- tures and emotions.
This route, to be continued, is not devoid of subjectivity in the investigation and references of its observer. It is to dis- cover different areas but especially their intersections, invit- ing to discuss these projects in their multidisciplinary, differ- ences and similarities.
With contributions by Ramaya Tegegne (CH), Erik van der Weijde (NL), Jan Wenzel (DE), Postdocument (FR), De Stihl (FR), Etienne Robial (FR)
