Institue of Contemporary Arts

The Room&Book ICA Art Book Fair takes place at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art from June 6 to June 8.

The 3-day art book fair, held at the Nash & Brandon Rooms of the ICA, brings together everyone from magazine experts, art book connoisseurs, zine aficionados, and legendary specialists all under one roof, and is the first art book fair in London to focus on the role of the book dealer.

A number of artists will present their own works, including Christian Flamm, and the fair will feature many book dealers, each of which will present some of their iconic publications from the last few decades, including Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare, Claire de Rouen Books, Diagonal Press, and many more.

See the ICA event page for more details. **

The ICA in London will be hosting a salon on our favourite buzzword on the afternoon of Friday, May 24. Examining issues of hacker culture, twitter Maoism and weird twitter, the discussion ‘On Digital Culture’ will look at the radical left, with groups like the Situationist International and “their intersection with the online practices of digital natives, who have grown up in a digital world”.

The event will feature author of The Spectacle of Disintegration: Situationist Passages out of the Twentieth Century, McKenzie Wark and the person responsible for one third of the organisational work behind Auto Italia’s exhibition Immaterial Labour isn’t Working. See the ICA website for more details.**
