Exhibitor Project Spaces
Andrew Roth will exhibit a large selection of posters, zines and flyers from Toby Mott’s renowned PUNK collection. To accompany the exhibition of over 120 artifacts, they will launch Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-1980 published by Phaidon. This new, fully illustrated 500 page book (which will not be publicly released until later in the fall: ISBN 9780714872759) and the exhibition, focuses on the canonical pieces of graphic printed matter that accompanied the Punk movement and which on their own track the history of the politics that informed the music and the physical art that was left in its wake.

David Zwirner Books presents Oscar Murillo, in collaboration with Mandy El-Sayegh and Yutaka Sone, as they stage Room Service, a live multi-day drawing and printing performance organized specifically for the fair. The primary elements of the Room Service installation will be artist workstations and a large digital printing press, where the three artists will create new collaborative graphic works, while a technician on site oversees the mass production of newspaper-inspired zines. The artists will further manipulate printed sheets to create unique works on paper, which will be hung throughout the entirety of the space. Through the act of organizing Room Service, a fully operational production site, the artists will explore the boundaries of collaborative action, the distinct expressive potential of drawing, and the potency of the printed form.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present FLASH FLASH FLASH, an exhibition as tattoo parlor. Six artists (including Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Douglas Gordon, Kim Gordon, and Jeff Koons) have created original flash art for the occasion. Professional tattoo artists will be tattooing these specially commissioned designs inside the booth for the duration of the fair. Tattoos will be hand-numbered on the bodies of the purchasers, and once six people have a tattoo, the design will be retired forever. In addition to their permanence on patrons’ bodies, each original flash artwork has been produced as a limited print in an edition of six. Brian Roettinger has designed a special-edition book and relics acknowledging the authenticity of each tattoo for the project. The tattoos, prints, and books will all be available for sale on-site at the fair.

Maia Ruth Lee and Peter Sutherland present The Zine Tornado: A chaotic DIY zine-making experience!

Nicodim Gallery presents a Project Room focused around the artists featured in two new titles, OMUL NEGRU, edited by Aaron Moulton and containing texts by Aaron Moulton, Alissa Bennett, Philip Zimbardo, Jim Jones, Albert Fish, Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and more; and AKIRA 3 by Ciprian Muresan.
