Reading South – Melbourne Art Fair 2008




reading south proposes an open and quaint environment for the Melbourne Art Fair public to access a rare collection of critical contemporary art publications that do not normally reach Australian shores from across the south. It also presents a rare selection of local journals that are interested in alternative perspectives. In the lead-up to the Art Fair, the South Project made contact with a range of publications/ journals/editors from around the world and organize the dispatch of their publications to Melbourne. Fouad Asfour, part of the editorial team of Documenta 12 magazines, became the Editorial Mastermind for South’s Reading Room. During the Art Fair, the public are invited to submit an expression of interest to own any particular journal on display. After the Art Fair, the South Project will select the best entries.
