Democratic Organization Are you trying to get your artists’ books out there to as wide an audience as possible, as inexpensively as possible? The10th Biennial Book Arts Fair and Conference is November 8-9, 2008, the weekend after the U.S. Presidential election, and in the spirit of democracy we are calling for you to take part! We want to exhibit your democratic multiples—the books you widely and cheaply disseminate—at our book fair. Participate in this experiment in democratic exhibitions. No jurors, no curators, just the books you make, straight from you, the artist. Deadline: October 1, 2008 We are also calling for those who attend the fair to do their part! They will have the opportunity to vote for one of the democratic multiples to receive a “Best Book of the Fair Award.” The award-winning book will receive an honorarium and have their ideas further disseminated as a spread in The Blue Notebook, the bi-annual journal published by the University of West England, Bristol, UK. Direct questions to: Fill out the form below and send it along with your books to: Democratic Organization Books Form
