Printed Matter’s 2026 LA Art Book Fair: A Revival of Historical Media<\/p>\n
The 2026 LA Art Book Fair, organized by Printed Matter, returned to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena with over 250 exhibitors, slightly fewer than last year’s 300+. This year, the fair emphasized the theme of archives, with many publications exploring historical media through a contemporary lens. Among the notable exhibits was the satirical book “Inside SINA: The Society for Indecency to Naked Animals,” which chronicled a 1960s hoax. Another highlight was RVB Books’ “MAN,” which humorously subverted male subjectivity through vintage photographs.<\/p>\n
These Days featured “Fishworm,” a haunting collection of found photos capturing a raw portrayal of America by Pia Paulina Guilmoth and Jesse Bull Saffire. Sabri Sundos’s cassette mixtape “Hand to Hand” curated music from the Middle East, interweaving personal and cultural narratives. Armenian Creatives and Taller California delved into cultural resistance and historical narratives, offering fresh perspectives on heritage and activism.<\/p>\n
Coloured Publishing announced plans for a brick-and-mortar bookstore, reflecting a commitment to creating physical spaces for community amidst digital saturation. The fair showcased a diverse range of works and exhibitors, emphasizing the enduring relevance and creative potential of historical archives in contemporary art and culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
