SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS
Printed Matter presents QUEER ZINES, an inclusive survey of over 240 publications by international independent publishers, drawn from the collections of Philip Aarons and AA Bronson. QUEER ZINES is a historical survey of serial, independent publications with a queer sensibility, illustrating the trajectory of queer zine publishing from the early 70s to current day. Crossing traditional boundaries of race, class, and gender, these zines are often cheaply-produced and largely distributed by mail; their formal dynamism, their mixing of media, and their radical politics finding striking analogue in contemporaneous queer theory. The exhibition is accompanied by a curated booth of contemporary and out of print Queer Zines for purchase, as well as a weekend full of Queer Interventions by a number of Queer Zinemakers, and a conversation with Philip Aarons, Darin Klein and Raymond Cha.

Andrew Roth and PPP Editions is pleased to present a collaborative project created exclusively for the LA Art Book Fair by Leigh Ledare and Nicolas Guagnini. It consists of an intervention into 100 books on the social sciences: Marxism, psychoanalysis, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, literary and art criticism, cultural studies, and literature. The intervention consists of circular holes filled with a variation of positions and possibilities within human sexual interaction.

Fabulousity is an exhibition of ephemera and photographs by Alexis Dibiasio surrounding 80s and 90s New York Club Kid Culture. This outrageous period of New York nightlife became notorious for its elaborate costumes, ostentatious drug use and high energy characters, and this exhibition coincides with the recent publication of the book; Fabulousity: A Night You'll Never Forget. . .Or Remember by Wildlife Press (UK).

Boo-Hooray hosts a presentation devoted to Swedish 60s underground artist and photographer Carl Johan De Geer. Exhibiting copies of and work from his underground magazine Puss, original silkscreens, fabrics and clothes he made, as well as a ton of vintage black & white prints of life in Stockholm in the 60s, curated by Johan Kugelberg and Ed Templeton.

Dutch artist Parra paints a mural on one of the walls of the Geffen, on the occasion of his new Printed Matter fundraising edition, The Joy Inside You Dies Tonight.

OUT OF PRINT OFFERING FROM PRINTED MATTER
In addition to the regular Printed Matter offering of contemporary artists' books, we are pleased to present a special booth dedicated to rare and classic out of print items. This curated selection of material will include a presentation of artists' magazines and serial publications by artists dating from the 1960s - 1980s.

Including issues of Art-Language, Art-Rite, Assembling, Avalanche, Control, File, The Fox, Heresies, Interfunktionen, Just Another Asshole, Real Life, SMS (Shit Must Stop), Top Stories and others, the selection features near-fine copies of many of the seminal publications of that era. Providing a vibrant forum for conceptual projects, experimental writing, and other projects for the page, these magazines offered artists an important alternative space to present their artworks in large, affordable editions outside of the commercial gallery system.

In addition to the focus on serial works we will also present a selection of Fluxus publications and related works, including newly available Reflux editions designed and conceived by George Maciunas. Another grouping of items will showcase artists' publications exploring innovative forms and structure of the book. Other items of interest include artists' books by Ida Applebroog, John Baldessari, Jenny Holzer, Allan Kaprow, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta Clark, Ed Ruscha, Athena Tacha, as well as publications from Multiples, Inc, and a selection of exhibition material and book projects from the late Seth Siegelaub, including a pristine copy of the Xerox Book.

On occasion of the La Art Book Fair, Printed Matter is pleased to offer much of this material at a lowered price.
