Labor Neunzehn and AVARIE are pleased to announce their participation in the 9th edition of the Ghent Art Book Fair 2026, taking place on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026 at Kunsthal Gent.
This presentation brings together Labor Neunzehn and AVARIE in their publishing and curatorial practice, with a special focus on the Kamera Cahiers series, co-edited for the Kamera project dedicated to experimental film and printed matter. On display will be selected issues, including the volume devoted to visual artist Christine Gedeon, reflecting ongoing engagements with moving image practices and contemporary artistic research.
Alongside this shared focus, selected editorial and artistic contributions extend the presentation: From Static Oblivion by Ion Grigorescu and Snaturamenti | a workbook by Flatform (co-published with Light Cone éditions) further explore themes related to cinema and processes of displacement. Giuliana Prucca, founder and artistic director of AVARIE, will also present her book Devenir minéral — a critical essay on mineral matter in art and literature. Artworks and archive material by Valentina Besegher (Labor Neunzehn) will be on display, alongside a guest contribution of photographic work by Martina della Valle.
