This weekend, a large -scale art feast kicked off at the Chengdu A4 Art Museum. The 2022 A4 Art Book Fair organized by the art museum attracted 93 artists at home and abroad to participate. This is the first domestic art book fair organized by the art museum.

In 2005, the American Independence Art Bookstore Printed Matter hosted a three -day New York Art Book Fair. For more than 10 years, this unique art wave has grown barbaric all over the world, and many stars, fashion and art celebrities have poured in.

Art Book Fair is different from traditional book fairs and art exhibitions. It is a display platform for art books. The scale of art books is small and is not available in mainstream channels. Such a self -publication is a carrier expressed by the creator and a transmission path of content. In recent years, various styles and scale of art book fairs have frequently appeared in China, and Chengdu has finally ushered in its own art book fair.

This art book fair is an annual public project initiated by the A4 Art Museum with the "book" as the core. It originated from a reflection: whether the creation is too hurried, so that it is "material" by the market. The A4 Art Museum establishes a dialogue bridge between the creators of the art publishing industry at home and abroad and the public, which is intended to explore the value of art creation in reading.

Cover reporters saw at the scene that the book fair was divided into four parts: book market, theme exhibition area, special unit and theme activities. A total of 93 creative limited art books brought by the participating units at home and abroad, as well as various lectures, screening, workshops, and conversations.

Interestingly, at the book fair site, the logistics tool of the turnover box entered the art museum. Participating artists exert their imagination and set up a combination of different styles in the booth to show their works. The reason why the turnover box is chosen as a display item, the art museum staff said: "Thousands of items are wrapped in the turnover box and transported to all parts of the world, and they are bought by different people. , Can also be given an artistic interpretation. "

Many artists at the scene made the audience shine. Photographer Zhang Xiao decorated the entire exhibition hall with apple elements, but the theme was "not allowed to eat apples"; behavior artist Zhou Bin talked with the audience and printed and presented a book; There are also portraits of artists and audience videos, causing participants to think about the lifestyle of the post -epidemic era; several major art institutions in Chengdu, such as Black Goat Wall, Black Crow Club, and DFI, have also brought various fresh and interesting photography Albums and art derivatives; there is also a group of "little editorial departments" formed by children with an average age of 8 years of age to show the children's own books.
