We’re absolutely thrilled that our book, Gluekit “Made Photographs” will make its debut at this year’s New York Art Book Fair. Held at MoMA PS1 and organized by Printed Matter, the New York Art Book Fair features work from an array of artists, book markers, and zinesters; it’s a seriously good time and a visual playground with tons of printed stimulus. Please stop by the Draw Down Books table (Table N26) and say hello!

We are very excited to be both a vendor and a presenter at the 2014 Vancouver Art Book Fair, which will be held October 4 & 5 at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Free and open to the public, VA/BF is the only international art book fair in Canada and one of only two on the West Coast. Nearly one hundred local, national and international publishers will be presenting their work, and there are full days of programming, performances, and installations. We’d love to see you there!

Gluekit Products Now Available at Scion AV Installation Store in LA

Scion AV Installations recently set up a really cool gallery and shop space on Melrose Avenue in LA. Featuring artwork and products designed by a rotating roster of artists (French was first, and SSUR currently has a show up), the space also carries goods produced by artists who’ve worked with Scion AV Installations in the past as well as a curated selection of items handpicked by Scion.

We were super excited to contribute a number of products to the store, including tote bags from Part of It, some of our bookends, as well as a tote and two small books we’ve created for our newest endeavor, Draw Down Books. The photo above of the shop space has a number of these items on display, including Luck (a photo book by Isaac McKay-Randozzi published by Draw Down), our 16 pp. tote bag (celebrate small press publications!), and a Make Art Now! tote bag by the awesome UPSO, the great brain behind the ultimate art zine, Faesthetic.

More great photos of SSUR’s exhibition and the new gallery space are up here. And check out this post for a peek at French’s installation and opening night bash.
