The International Center of Photography will present the ICP Photobook Fest on May 12 to 14 at ICP at 79 Essex Street, New York City. This year's Photobook Fest will expand into ICP's galleries to host nearly 50 leading and independent photobook publishers from more than 10 countries, showcasing their latest image-based books, magazines and zines.
"Photobooks continue to be a resurgent creative format for photographers across generations, providing critical means of telling stories though sequence, design, text and scale," said David E. Little, ICP executive director.
"Last year, we had an outstanding group of publishers and a phenomenal crowd of artists and visitors attended our Photobook Fest. After our success last year, we have expanded the number of publishers and square footage -- in fact, the fair will take over the museum and part of our school, underscoring ICP's commitment to Photobooks and to a wide range of publishers and new audiences. At ICP, we love the accessibility and activist spirit that photobooks represent."
ICP's School will host in-person conversations throughout the weekend, highlighting the latest trends and releases in photobook making. Anchoring the event in ICP's double-height Library, ICP's School will present a dedicated display and sales table of recent alumni and faculty photobooks. The weekend also will feature more than 50 photographer book signings, as well as zine-making activity stations. The schedule for programming and book signings will be released on pbf.icp.org in the lead-up to Photobook Fest.
