Event Description

Third Biennial Codex International Book Fair and Symposium
Borders and Collaborations
6-9 February 2011
Berkeley Art Museum Theater

In keeping with the mission of the Codex Foundation, to preserve and promote the art and craft of the book, every two years, the foundation hosts an International Book Fair on the campus of the University of California Berkeley.

The inaugural fair, in 2007, gathered together a congress of the world's finest private presses, book artists, artisans, curators, collectors, and scholars in the spirit of an Old West rendezvous. The depth and breadth of the work represented at the fair is archived in the Codex Publication BOOK ART OBJECT

The 2009 bookfair brought together over 140 artists from around the globe. Along with the strong representation of American presses and publishers, the Codex Foundation was pleased to see the attendance of book artists from France, Germany, Japan, England, Canada, Colombia, Italy, Australia, Russia, and Israel.

The fair is acknowledged as the “world's fair” of the book as art and artifact.

Anyone know whether it actually takes 4 days to see the fair? hard to imagine... I'm not all that interested in the speakers. Been there done it?

Unfortunatley I won't be there either - but it is one of those gigs I would recommend to everyone...

This is way beyond my financial capabilities although I imagine it would be a wonderful event to participate in / to attend.

Would be great to hear about it from anyone who is in a position to attend and some documentation/photos.
