International contemporary artists book fair

I recently checked out the International contemporary artists book fair at the Tetley, I thought the fair would be helpful for my current brief in design principles, as it is producing a book. What I gained from this visit was looking out for any unique folds or binding techniques that I could possibly use in my designs but I also found the layout of the exhibition / fair useful too, as I will be hosting an exhibition as a part of my course in May, so to see how work is presented in a certain space was helpful. Sadly I wasn't able to purchase any books due to my current student financial situation, but a number of them did catch my eye and it was an opportunity to engage with the artists.
