Australian Zine Showcase and Melbourne Art Books Fair

The above photos were snapped yesterday at the Australian Zine Showcase, the newest addition to the annual Melbourne Art Book Fair at NGV International (16 - 19 March). This rotating zine fair has been superbly organised and curated by Sticky Institute. Moth Woman Press was there yesterday, Saturday, 18 March, between 2-30 - 8 pm. (Photo credits: Shane Jones).

Meanwhile, at the Melbourne Art Books Fair in the adjacent Great Hall, Moth Woman Press is ably represented by Esther Gyorki, who is showing a selection of our artist's books at her Assembly Books stand until 5 pm today. (See below - that's Esther on the right). Behind her, next to the Assembly Books sign, is an open copy of our one-of-a-kind artist book, Castles in the Hair (2013).

A New Cutting Board and a New Zine for a New Zine Fair

Pictured on my brand new cutting board is OVERLEAF, a brand new zine destined for next weekend's Australian Zine Showcase at the 2017 Melbourne Art Book Fair, NGV International. Moth Woman Press will be there on Saturday 18 March between 2.30 and 8 pm with this and a myriad of MWP publications.

As mentioned in my previous post, Moth Woman Press will have a significant presence at this year's Melbourne Art Book Fair. A wide selection of our books can also be found at Esther Gyorki's Assembly Books stand in the Great Hall.

The Melbourne Art Books Fair runs from 16 - 19 March.

Linocut Workshop at NGV International

Tonight and next Wednesday evening I'm giving two linocut workshops for NGV Members at the National Gallery of Victoria. I'll be taking along some demonstration lino blocks, including the four linocut portraits of Moth Women Vigilantes gang members pictured above.

The classes will run from 6 - 8.30 pm. They are primarily aimed at beginners, each of whom will make their own linocut and learn to print it without the need of a press. I'm delighted to say that both sessions have sold out.
