00:00
hey this is Michael so I finally have
00:03
all the books from the 2019 la art book
00:07
fairs the printed matter won and the
00:08
independent art book fair and these are
00:11
all the books that I got and I'm so
00:13
excited to share them with you so I
00:16
guess to start
00:18
I'll pick with one of my favorite ones
00:21
here which I got the last copy of and
00:25
you can see there that's like wax that
00:28
was hand dripped onto it and it is a
00:31
poetry book they're not taught you this
00:34
but like maybe bearish books by the band
00:41
Naza laws and I just love the way that
00:47
it is but written and like I just love
00:55
to I just love the words and just the
00:58
feel of the paper it's really really
01:00
beautiful definitely one of my favorites
01:05
and then I love I got this book from
01:14
perimeter editions and this book takes
01:18
place in Elon and it has a beautiful
01:23
hard hardcover there and I'm not gonna
01:28
open it right now but it's definitely
01:30
one of my favorite books and then I got
01:36
this book here never going home actually
01:40
as a trade both of it or not with the
01:43
person who runs the independent art Book
01:45
Fair and it's by her press at very a and
01:54
the photos in it are just gorgeous
02:00
so I can show you there and the book I
02:09
believe is about that's by multiple
02:11
photographers and they're just about
02:12
them traveling and the photographs that
02:15
they've taken awesome book and I believe
02:25
it comes with these cards which are
02:31
really beautiful I believe I also got
02:39
the last edition I saw them last year
02:41
that same book and I was like oh who I
02:43
really want it but I end up getting in a
02:45
different book from them instead but I
02:47
picked it up this year pretty excited
02:51
then I have this from printed matter
02:55
which I actually read last me know
02:57
last night and as from temporary
02:59
services and I'm personally it's like a
03:02
giant fanboy and I got to talk to one of
03:04
the people there I don't know his name
03:06
he seemed kind of weird out the fact
03:08
that like I knew him really well and
03:09
like had been studying his work but this
03:13
is it just tackles like what is
03:16
contemporary are publishing and what do
03:18
they solve and interviews a lot of
03:21
publishers and actually a lot of my
03:23
friends are in there even have like
03:26
Kimmy in here I went to they were hit
03:29
like the same group of sculpture majors
03:32
in college at the same year and then he
03:36
has these other handouts which are
03:38
really really nice then I have this book
03:45
here which is really cool and you can
03:47
actually see on our YouTube I did an
03:50
interview with this artist and what it
03:54
is is it's like you make it the book
03:56
like you cut and fold on these lines and
04:00
then it turns into a rolodex and you
04:02
read it this way and definitely check
04:05
out it's by klarity editions and
04:07
definitely check out the interview that
04:11
we did with them
04:12
it's a really cool experimental book
04:16
definitely keeper and then I saw a
04:22
lecture by this guy at the Independent
04:24
Book Fair he actually did a lecture
04:26
right before mine so like I said watch
04:28
his and then he stayed and watch mine
04:31
but it's the idea of like what's called
04:36
fluorescence and like what comes after
04:39
post-modernism and the idea of art that
04:42
grows like in a garden and then I have
04:51
this book which I've been reading quite
04:55
a few times I can't show you all the
04:58
pages but it's by Araki and his work is
05:07
so good there's no there's a lot of
05:08
maybe in this book so I can't show you
05:10
most of the pages but I've been a big
05:14
fan of his work for a long time and
05:15
there was a retail there that had a lot
05:19
of work but I was excited too
05:22
this one was my favorite and this was
05:25
one I'm glad to add to my collection
05:29
then I have this book mostly moving
05:34
which is actually kind of two books it's
05:37
on animation and it's a really cool book
05:43
I don't know anything about animation
05:45
but it just talks about like
05:48
contemporary themes and animation and
05:50
things that they're experimenting with
05:51
and it has like two sections so like
05:54
this half reads this way and then it's
05:56
upside down on them this half is this
05:58
way
05:58
definitely check them out and then my my
06:06
girlfriend actually picked up this book
06:08
and by Ranna young the rugs typography
06:12
it's a really cool book and I almost got
06:15
it I like really really almost did I'm
06:18
not going to open it because it's hers
06:19
but it's definitely worth checking out
06:21
what I ended up getting by the same
06:24
press
06:26
was a Setting Sun volumes 1 through 3 by
06:32
Greg Evans and they're really cool books
06:35
and they're meant to be sold as a set so
06:40
they have like just these really
06:43
beautiful photographs that really sold
06:45
me I'll show you the inside of these and
06:53
they're just really well printed they
06:54
feel really nice in the hand and they're
06:56
just really beautiful objects
07:10
definitely worth checking out and then I
07:15
have few more I have this book of the
07:19
most recent one by jeremy cost which i
07:23
want to say if I can show you some of it
07:25
I found this work through Instagram I
07:27
was really excited to like meet him in
07:29
person
07:31
cookie takes really amazing male nudes
07:38
and so I believe that these are like
07:40
Polaroids that he painted on and then
07:43
scanned or rephotographed and they're
07:47
really really nice I'm trying to take it
07:50
off screen here because I don't want to
07:51
show you this is there's a lot of male
07:53
nudity here and it's definitely not
07:55
appropriate for YouTube but I was really
08:00
excited I got to meet Jeremy now he
08:03
assigned my book the first page here
08:09
which I'll show you and we did we talked
08:15
and hopefully maybe together we would do
08:17
some collaboration or something really
08:19
cool guy and then I also have this
08:25
sticker by little body shop of horror
08:28
which I was Joe I actually did an
08:30
interview with them and I had the table
08:32
they had the booth next to us when we
08:34
were presenting there and I didn't
08:36
interviewed them and my like phone
08:38
glitched out and I feel so bad because
08:40
they're really great artists and you
08:42
should definitely check them out
08:43
it's the Instagram handle there yep
08:45
it'll shut that little shop with body
08:47
horror and then speaking of people that
08:54
I interview that the fair girl squash
08:56

08:59

09:03
the relationship between femininity and
09:06
food and like what is and it just has
09:12
like art and poetry and writing and
09:15

10:28
I can't show you but she makes a porn
10:33
