Step into the programme shaping this year’s Offprint London! 📚 Talks & book signings: This year, the fair presents an inspiring series of artist talks at Reference Point (@referencepoint180 ), bringing together a dynamic range of contemporary voices. Throughout the three days of Offprint, a dedicated programme of book signings will offer unique opportunities for meaningful exchanges and engaging encounters between artists and visitors. [NEW!] 🖨️ Live printing installation: The fair will also feature ‘Relic’, a project by RRose Editions (@rroseeditions ) and artist Lucy Helton (@lucyhelton ), a multi-analogue fax machine installation that prints book pages live. Fax machines can be seen as relics—potential technofossils, or human-made objects that may eventually become embedded in the Earth’s geological record. The thermal prints generated during the event will be compiled into a collective artist book, published in a limited edition by RRose Editions and made available to Offprint visitors. 🔊Sound Programme: New Dimension’s Ben Goulder (@newdimensionhq ) will curate a sound programme for Offprint London, bringing together international friends and collaborators, including BOOT MAG and VieImprint. Moving between aural pleasure and pain, the programme will extend the fair’s atmosphere beyond the page through a resonant selection of sound, interference and low-level seduction. 🖍️ Colouring Art Book Workshop: On Sunday, 17 May at noon, join us for a colouring art book workshop on the occasion of the launch of 'Spot 100 Difference Colouring Art Book', a colouring book with no beginning or end by Masanao Hirayama (@masanaohirayama ), edited by Hato Press (@hatopress ). (Please note that the programme is still being updated.) 👉 Discover the full programme schedule on offprint.org 📍Offprint London, @180.studios , 15-17 May 2026 @luma_arles #offprint #offprintlondon #offprintlondon2026 #180studios

This year at Offprint London: Mousse Magazine and Publishing 📌 "John Giorno: The Performative Word" #repost “John Giorno: The Performative Word” is the first monograph dedicated to the American artist, poet, and activist John Giorno (1936–2019) and accompanies a retrospective exhibition presented at @mambobologna (February 5–May 3, 2026), curated by Lorenzo Balbi (@balbi_lorenzo ) during ART CITY Bologna 2026 (@artcitybologna ). Emerging from the New York downtown scene of the 1960s, Giorno developed a singular artistic voice at the crossroads of poetry, performance, painting, and political activism over the course of more than six decades. By bringing the written word off the page and into performance, technology, and visual art, Giorno consistently challenged disciplinary boundaries and advanced a radical vision of language as central to human expression. Though often positioned at the margins of multiple downtown scenes—the Beats, Andy Warhol’s Factory, punk music, queer counterculture, anti-war activism—he was in fact an influential presence within all of them, operating as a conduit between coexisting cultural communities. His collaborators included Robert Rauschenberg, William Burroughs, Laurie Anderson, Anne Waldman, Allen Ginsberg, and Ugo Rondinone, among many others. This publication introduces some of the many ways Giorno wove poetry into all aspects of daily life—by putting words on the wall, on the performance stage, on LP vinyl records, or on the telephone, in the context of the iconic “Dial-A-Poem,” one of his most celebrated works. A wide range of archival documents, images, and ephemera also form an intimate portrait of Giorno as an activist, performer, Buddhist practitioner, collaborator, and friend. The volume is edited by @balbi_lorenzo , @anthonyhhhhhhh , and @bonnie_maybe_ , and includes texts by @balbi_lorenzo , @kyle_decoy , Nicola Ricciardi, @ugorondinone0 , @lhoptman , and @drewmsawyer . 👉 Come and meet @moussemagazine at #OffprintLondon2026! 🗓️ May 15-17 📍180 Studios (@180.studios ), 180 The Strand, London #offprint #offprintlondon #offprintlondon2026 #180studios 📸 © @moussemagazine

This year at Offprint London: Tenderbooks 📌 "Philosophy of the Home. Domestic Space and Happiness" by Emanuele Coccia #repost A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world. In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world. 👉 Come and meet @tenderbooks at #OffprintLondon2026! 🗓️ May 15-17 📍180 Studios (@180.studios ), 180 The Strand, London #offprint #offprintlondon #offprintlondon2026 #180studios 📸 © @tenderbooks

This year at Offprint London: Antenne Books 📌 "Cancelled Confessions" by Claude Cahun Edited by Thin Man Press (@thinmanpress5 ) #repost "Cancelled Confessions" reveals Claude Cahun to be a major surrealist writer and pioneering queer theorist almost a century ahead of her time. ‘The re-appearance of this glittering and dissenting semi-lost epic is a gift… Cahun’s writing is stylish, playful and prescient, peopled with angel slang, flowering disavowals, God’s lipstick and an infinite layering of masks.’ Daisy Lafarge, author. In 1930, Claude Cahun (born Lucy Schwob) and her partner, artist Marcel Moore (born Suzanne Malherbe) published their surrealist masterpiece, Aveux non Avenus, translated here as "Cancelled Confessions" and available in English for the first time in twenty years. Susan de Muth’s revised translation of "Cancelled Confessions" has a new introduction by art historian Amelia Groom which contextualizes it within contemporary queer discourse. ‘It’s a surrealist, trans, queer, autofiction, (anti)memoir, and also none of those things. It’s a text, and a life, felt as connection and at the same time completely singular.’ McKenzie Wark, author. ‘The kaleidoscopic text is pieced together from diverse fragments… there are philosophical and subversive theological musings, aphorisms and fables, letters and dialogues, dreams and hymns, nightmares and jokes,’ writes Groom. The book’s nine sections are prefaced by dreamlike photomontages (reproduced in high definition here) which reflect, illuminate and converse with the verbal content. Upon publication, "Aveux non Avenus" simply baffled all but a few of Cahun’s friends and admirers, leading Cahun to describe herself as, ‘An unwanted Cassandra’. Now, however, is the time of the remarkably prescient Cahun and Moore.
