About
Offprint Projects is a traveling art publishing fair featuring discerning projects across a wide range of media. The 2015 London fair includes books, zines, vinyls, posters, prints, websites, magazines, and blogs from over 140 participants in the fields of contemporary art, graphic design, literature, poetry, philosophy, and experimental music.
In collaboration with Tate Modern and curator Simon Baker, Offprint London dedicates a special space for photobooks, inviting independent photobook publishers from all over the world.
Acknowledging a dissolving effect of traditional sites and media (museums / books / schools) and their respective activities (curating / publishing / teaching), Offprint showcases an alliance between printed strategies and digital cultures within the art world, presenting concrete examples of the contemporary dissemination of artistic practices.

Programme
Offprint has invited curatorial project Self Publish, Be Happy, to create a special programme for this year’s fair. Celebrating its 5th birthday, SPBH will build a project space at Offprint London which will host numerous events involving exciting contemporary photographers.
The SPBH project space is a call to action. It aims to inspire visitors to make books by playing with different photographic and printing processes. Programmed by founder Bruno Ceschel, the project space will host workshops, performances, a bookshop, and a screening room. There will also be a speakers’ corner, where participants will talk about the books they love.
