Building on the success of last year’s launch, this year’s Semi Permanent Art & Design Fair includes an expanded collection of vendors from across Australia, including independent publishers, large-scale publishing houses and art galleries alongside independent artists, ceramicists, poster designers and digital creators. These include Astrophe Magazine, BTWNLNS, Evi. O Studio, Institute of Modern Art, Journals, MCA Store, Perimeter, Powerhouse Publishing, Soft Stir and Voluptuary Ceramics, among many others.
Several new titles and artworks will be launched exclusively at the Semi Permanent Art & Design Fair, including Nothing I Know Belongs To Me, a monograph celebrating ten years of Christopher Doyle & Co, published by Formist; the sophomore edition of food and literature journal Tart Magazine; a series of fine art prints by Sydney-based 3D/VR artist David Porte Beckefeld, spanning 2020-2023; and 20 Years Forward & Back, a major new published work by Semi Permanent that charts, reflects and refracts a broad spectrum of excellence across multiple disciplines in celebration of two decades of the festival.
