Self Publish, Be Happy is turning five, and, to coincide with the release of the book Self Publish, Be Happy: A DIY Photobook Manual and Manifesto, copublished with Aperture this fall, we embark on our most ambitious bookmaking performance to date: twenty-four hours, three continents, eleven artists, one publication. On Saturday, September 19, starting at the Tokyo Art Book Fair, continuing at Unseen Photo Fair in Amsterdam, and finishing during the NY Art Book Fair at Ten10 Studios, artists will respond to the forthcoming publication and to each other’s work, across continents and time. The end result will be one collective DIY publication, edited and designed by Bruno Ceschel and Antonio de Luca, available for free download from the Aperture and Self Publish, Be Happy websites on Sunday, September 20. Audiences in each of the three cities will be able to witness the making of the publication, and everybody will be able to follow it live here.
