Dublin Art Book Fair 2022: A Caring Matter
backbonebooks shows Fergus Feehily’s Portals, 2022 at the Dublin Art Book Fair. Temple Bar Gallery + Studios presents Dublin Art Book Fair 2022: A Caring Matter (DABF22), the twelfth edition of Ireland’s only art book fair, sponsored by Henry J Lyons. Taking place from 24 November to 4 December 2022, the gallery is transformed into an art book fair where you can enjoy an impressive range of artist books, curated book titles, independent publishers, talks and events in a unique atmosphere.
Rosie Lynch, Creative Director of Workhouse Union in Kilkenny, is DABF22 Guest Curator. Her theme, A Caring Matter, is explored through the books themselves and an eleven-day programme of talks, events and workshops. At the crux is the idea of care, considered in poetic and imminent ways through the role of formal and informal publishing, and how we build communities of solidarity and belonging to how we care for our buildings and towns. Lynch’s programme puts care at the centre of how we think about society, our environment, how we work, live and make art.
Dublin Art Book Fair 2022: A Caring Matter is sponsored by Henry J Lyons and supported by Dublin UNESCO City of Literature.
