The Hybrid Book Fair

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know about a cool opportunity close to us. The Hybrid Book Conference and Fair will be taking place this Friday the 5th. There are panels in the morning about bookarts, letterpress, collaborative processes, and books in the media etc. Unfortunately the panels are full, however the book fair is 1pm-6pm and FREE and OPEN to the public. There will be tons of book and press artists showing and selling their stuff, not to mention our favorite, Tricia Treacy will be there! This would be a great opportunity to meet some cool artists and check out whats happening in the world of book making and letterpress. I will be there so I think you should come :) It will take place at The University of the Arts 320 S. Broad St. Philadelphia PA 19102. More info at above link.

The first is an article about an icelandic artist preparing for the venice biennale, the second is a review of a film I would like to see that you might find interesting, and the third is a cool music video that was done entirely in flash. Hope everyone is having a good summer, and if you know of any job openings around newark let me know.
