Publish and Be Damned
an evening at Barbican's Conservatory as part of the Gordon Matta Clark/Trisha Brown/Laurie Anderson exhibition

A special appearance from PABD’s cult publishing fair, featuring some of the very best independent and DIY publications, books and magazines made by artists and print enthusiasts.

A beautiful setting and a great small group of independent publishers. Unfortunately the Barbican charged 10 pounds entrance (not very much in the 70s New York independent artists spirit) which made the visitors less enthusiastic about buying the publications. The event also didn't seem to be properly advertised, and the date and time (Thursday 6.30 to 10) were weird, it might have worked better on a Saturday...
