First Issue
Self-Publishing Book Fair
for Design and Art
14.–15. October 2011
No other branch predicts its own demise as often as the book industry. Yet despite the apodictic “book-is-dead” lament of many experts, countless new books are again being published this year. Now, parallel to the Frankfurt Book Fair, a new event is being launched. Self-publishing in design and art is the topic of this fair, organized under the general heading “Print Culture – Dead or Alive?!”. As the title implies, the event is going to be the first edition, followed by a Second and a Third Issue and many more in the future. This is a new start and a new idea, demonstrating that print is not at all dead, but rather in the process of reinventing itself right now. Producers – such as designers, authors or artists – finance, publish and distribute their own books, catalogues, magazines and collectibles themselves. Digital print and Internet make this possible. Books are part of their artistic production – are a personal form of expression.

Stefan Sagmeister, Another exhibit about promotion and sales material
13 October–19 February 2011
The Austrian artist Stefan Sagmeister, who has lived in New York for the last seventeen years, is one of the most original graphic designers of his generation. Considering that there is no distinction between so-called “cultural” and commercial graphic design, he has worked for several of the great names in music (Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones), also executing numerous commissions for companies and institutions (Levi’s, BMW, Casa da Musica de Porto, etc.). For this exhibition, he has decided to focus on his commercial work over the last seven years. Divided into four sections, it focuses on the distinct typologies that Stefan Sagmeister distinguishes in his work: Selling culture, Selling corporations, Selling friends, Selling myself. The exhibition design by Big Game highlights the breadth of his graphic language, characterised by his subtle combination of the applied and fine arts: technology, intimist drawings and gigantic installations illustrate his disc jackets, commercial catalogues, exhibition catalogues, posters, visual identities, logos, etc.
