Finally here we have, some pics of the ABOUT Independent Publishing Fair, where BOLO Paper has been invited as a publisher.


»We are ABOUT to make history« is the motto of the first ABOUT Independent Publishing Fair in Mainz. This fair for small publishing houses and self-publishers that work within the fields of art and design took place from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th of May 2012. It complements »Schrift/Macht/Welten.«, a notable symposium that will address to the relationship of typography and power, and is organized by the German Society for Design History in Mainz.

 

Here the photoes:

Located on the spacious premises of FH Mainz – University of Applied Sciences, ABOUT offers more than 200 square meters for the presentation and sale of a great variety of publications.

 

With more than 25 participants ( BOLO Paper will be in the international table) from all across the country and a focus on the presentation of student’s publications from various art academies, it facilitates exchange and dialogue with like-minded people as well as the general public.
Along with the fair, we have organized the exhibition »FLAGS« which will showcase 16 flag designs by international designers.
