* DUTCH PAVILION EVENTS

13 of the 18 exhibitors will be brought together in the Dutch Pavilion, located on the second floor in Gallery Y. Kunstverein and Witte de With will occupy a special section in the Dutch Pavilion presenting new book/works by artists Adam Pendleton and Susanne Kriemann. The space will also function as a site for the following presentations:

NOVEMBER 5
3 pm: Book launch for Giny Vos‘ monograph Singing in the Dark (Valiz)
Dutch artist Giny Vos works with new media to create light installations for the public space. After a year of intensive work on her monograph, Singing in the Dark, she will discuss how her collaboration with the authors, designers and publisher clarified the questions raised by her work and how these translate into a book. Following her lecture, David van der Leer, Assistant Curator for Architecture and Design at the Guggenheim Museum, will engage in dialogue with Vos about her new book and the relations between her work, public space and architecture.

5 pm: Book launch for Susanne Kriemann‘s ONE DAY (Witte de With)
Berlin- and Rotterdam-based artist Susanne Kriemann experiments with the migration of photographic images. Her books function in part as temporary homes for such moving pictures. The latest, ONE DAY, is a portrait of Rotterdam from dawn to dusk, composed entirely of photographs found in books about this Dutch city published since its devastating bombing by the Luftwaffe in May 1940. A discussion between Kriemann and the New York-based critic and curator Christopher Eamon will address the continuum of reconstruction and recontextualization that shapes the spaces of the city and the book.

NOVEMBER 6
3 pm: Talent portfolio presentation by Emile Hyperion Dubuisson and Theo Volpatti (Foam Magazine)
Foam Magazine presents #24: TALENT, which is the result of this international photography magazine’s call to young, talented photographers to send in work for publication. Two New York-based photographers featured in this issue – Emile Hyperion Dubuisson and Theo Volpatti – have been invited to come and present their portfolios in person. Foam Magazine is made in Amsterdam.

5 pm: Lecture on the Antennae Series by graphic designer Daniel van der Velden / Metahaven (Valiz)
One year ago, the Amsterdam-based art publisher Valiz launched its Antennae series. In close dialogue with Valiz, the design platform Metahaven created the series’ identity and typography. Metahaven’s co-founder and Yale University design critic Daniel van der Velden will talk about the Metahaven design for the series in the context of wider trends in the publishing industry.

NOVEMBER 7
1 pm: Lecture by Michael Capio on his publication Conceivably, the object is what it seems / Lucas Maassen (Onomatopee)

WERKPLAATS TYPOGRAFIE, located in Gallery W, cordially invites visitors of the NY Art Book Fair to enrich the school’s library by bringing in books they consider a must-read for every art and design student.

PARTY
