Venue:P.A.G.E.S. Contemporary Print & Art Book Fair
HEAD – Genève, Av de Châtelaine 7
1203 Geneva, Switzerland
The stand of the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (HGB) at the P.A.G.E.S. Contemporary Print & Art Book Fair focuses on the representation and progressive visualisation of the graphic workshops as an integral part of artistic, creative and content-related debate.
Large-format graphics from the "Woodcuts XXL" project demonstrate the spatial possibilities of woodcuts and open up new spaces for experiencing artistic printmaking.
Another intervention refers to the power of the book, whose constant questioning and development the study of the HGB invites.
The legitimacy of the printed word is still undisputed. As an element of exchange and action, a Korrex printing press from HEAD - Genève will be part of the presentation. As an active moment of mediation, we invite you to an open, performative printing process - in the belief in the book as a means of expression in terms of content and society. The leaflet will take centre stage and be a medium of political debate. The printing of a statement, demand or argument on paper can and must be seen as an important part of empowerment and community, especially in today's world.
The presentation of student editorial projects will also provide an insight into the thinking and work at the academy.
