ASP 8 will host 80+ UK and international independent artist self-publishers for a one-day fair.
Conway Hall opens its doors on Saturday 16 December for ASP 8.
As with past fairs, it will feature artist self-publishers only and will continue to avoid the restrictions and market dominance of much of contemporary arts culture.
The publications are the artworks, affordable and available and remain free from the constraint of the institution or gallery. The ideas, images and text are produced and published by artists who understand the restrictions and freedoms of the printed page.
In addition to those selected by ASP, 10 places will be allocated via open submission. The fair will remain free to stall holders and the audience.
