ARTBOOK @ FAIRS

ARTBOOK @ Walker at AIGA

Each year the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) hosts a national design conference, inviting the world's top graphic artists to celebrate the best in design and explore the core elements of modern practice. In 2017, the theme was Connection. We ran the pop-up bookstore in Minneapolis October 12-14, and hosted signings with Ellen Lupton, Michael Bierut, Louise Fili, Steff Geissbuhler, Sean Adams, Paula Scher, Wendy MacNaughton & Sarah Rich, and Alina Wheeler.

Signings on day two included Sean Adams, Paula Scher, Wendy MacNaughton & Sarah Rich, and Alina Wheeler.

Our AIGA store was curated by Avery Lozada. Serious readers were complemented by new and classic monographs and a cheeky selection of children's books, stationery items and toys.

Long live great design!
