Introducing “The Zürich Archive”

VOLUMES is compiling a collection of artist books connected to Zürich. The publications can be directly or indirectly related to the city. We are equally interested in documentary depictions of the place and snapshots of experiences with the city as a background. The archive will first be exhibited at Gessnerallee during our annual event VOLUMES 2016, Independent Art publishing Fair on the 25th and 26th of November.

If you are interested in contributing to it with one of your own publications, suscribe HERE. We look forward to hearing from you and showcasing your publications within our exhibition!

Call for submissions for VOLUMES 2016

The fourth edition of VOLUMES – Independent Art Publishing Fair – returns on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th of November 2016 at Gessnerallee in Zürich. The fair will present a fine selection of local and international art books, zines and magazines. The fair will also feature a symposium, a range of performances, exhibitions and workshops.

After a successful third edition in November 2015 at the off-space Kunstraum Walcheturm, VOLUMES will take place at Gessnerallee, a central venue for performing arts that will open its doors to the only fair of its kind in the city.

VOLUMES 2016 will feature a unique symposium, curated by this year’s special guest Damian Christinger, who will introduce speakers exploring different aspects of the independent publishing scene. The visitors will also get a chance to discover publishers and artists from Switzerland and Europe, who will be showcasing their production in person. A performance programme curated in collaboration with Anke Hoffmann will explore further the creative practices around self publishing. The International Open Call exhibition will act as a sort of snapshot of an even more global production while the Zürich Archive will present a selection of artist books connected to the city. You have the option of booking a full table (approx. 0.6 x 2m) for 100 CHF or half a table (approx. 0.6 x 1m) for 50 CHF. You can also take part in the international Open Call Exhibition or the Zürich Archive by donating one publication. If you would like to do a workshop, a performance, a reading or have a book launch at the fair, please let us know. To apply, please follow the link HERE. (Applications are open until Sunday the 21st of August). We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at VOLUMES 2016! Best wishes, VOLUMES Zürich
