\"Medusa-1\"<\/p>\n

A survey of collage in \u2018zines at Vancouver Art\/Book Fair<\/h1>\n

“Since its humble beginnings as an extension of Project Space, a non-profit organization devoted to publication as an artistic medium, the Vancouver Art\/Book Fair (VA\/BF) has come to be known as a major international art event,” writes Kolaj contributor Stephane Bernard. “When I moved to Vancouver three years ago, the inaugural edition of the Vancouver Art\/Book Fair in October 2012, presented in the Vancouver Art Gallery Annex, was my introduction to the city\u2019s art scene. My first reaction was simply one of awe.” In Kolaj #14<\/a>, Bernard reports on the 2015 edition of the fair and reviews collage-oriented titles.<\/p>\n

The 2015 Vancouver Art\/Book Fair, organized by Project Space, was held 17-18 October at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Registration for the 2016 fair will open in the new year.

The Adorable Little School of Art of Canada<\/em> by Julie Doucet
\nThe book is entirely produced by the artist in a signed edition of 400, with the inner pages printed with a Risograph and the covers silkscreened in three colours.<\/h2>\n

\"Medusa-Cover\"<\/p>\n

Medusa<\/em> by James MacSwain
\nSeveral books by MacSwain were available at Perro Verlag\u2019s table, but the one that caught my eye had a mesmerizing letterpress cover by Cook and Wesley Mulvin.<\/h2>\n

\"Capilano-Review-cover\"<\/p>\n

The Capilano Review<\/em>
\nMy favourite find at the Fair was a copy of The Capilano Review, due in part to the wave of nostalgia that swept over me. The Capilano Review is a Vancouver-based magazine, founded by writer and painter Pierre Coupey in 1972, who wanted to publish literary and visual arts side by side.<\/h2>\n
