X Artists’ Books is delighted to return to Multiple Art Days for our second year at the fair. We’ll be presenting Diane di Prima and George Herm’s Haiku for the first time in Europe, as well as our other titles.
In 2018 XAB artist Benoît Fougeirol was recognized by the ADAGP with their Prix Revelation for his book (Zus). ADAGP is France’s society for graphic and fine artists, and the award is designed to promote contemporary creation in the artistic discipline of limited-edition artists’ books.

Oracular Transmissions weaves together three of the most recent collaborative projects Etel Adnan and Lynn Marie Kirby have completed through processes of exchange and translation: Back, Back Again to Paris (2013), The Alhambra Exchanges (2016), and Transmissions (2017). Etel Adnan is a Lebanese, Paris-based artist, essayist, and poet who was a longtime resident of Marin County and is known for her works inspired by her relationship to Mount Tamalpais. Lynn Marie Kirby is a San Francisco-based artist who makes films, videos, and site responsive installations, often with text based components. The book also includes poems by Denise Newman, a friend to both Adnan and Kirby, and an introduction by Kadist Foundation curator Jordan Stein presenting their works and performances. Design and typography by Brian Roettinger bring these numerous transmissions — video, performance, photography, email and other texts — together in one volume.
