It was very crowded at TABF, which was moved to the newly reopened Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Perhaps they did it for a month at Ginza Sony Park in the spring and got recognition for it. If we use the example of a late-night show that moved to primetime, the food scene in Moya Moya-Samazu 2 became a cool restaurant instead of a messy one, and the change in taste is inevitable when it comes to this scale.

TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR Ginza Edition art book vending machine is a good project that's a bit fun. Alex Dodge "The Trauma of Information" アレックス・ダッジ「情報のトラウマ」 It was based on 3D modeling and applied laser cutting stencils and woodblock printing techniques, and i like much better with a newspaper folded over than with a dot pattern.

This year, the event will be held at Terada Warehouse in Tennozu. I wonder if they invited TABF by inviting an art complex to push Tennozu.  As the number of visitors and exhibitors increases, the space between the booths should be as large as this Terada Warehouse, rather than the art school building in Jingu Gaien until last year. If it's going to be held at the same place next year, I wonder if it would be a good idea to disperse the special exhibition to the BC building of the board walk where there was a food booth. The riverside of Tennozu is nice. The exhibition is a book design work by Tadanori Yokoo. I felt it when I reconsidered Japanese Expanded Cinema Revisited  in topmuseum these days, but it is amazing that the active feeling of Yokoo Tadanori has continued for more than half a century.

ディレクターが江口さんから中島さんにバトンタッチ。 The Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2014やComulusといったスイスの特集やirma boom BooksのコーナーなどPOSTのテイストは、いろんなZINEもいいけど他の国の出版社やデザイナーをもっと深くイッキ見でページめくりたい気分には合っていた。 かなり激混み度が増してチラ見ぐらいだけど、その中で気になったのはhuman research publishing の act of love - a visual dictionary of animal courtship というA3サイズの大判な図鑑テイストの本。

Tokyo Art Book Fairの会場となった3331 Art Chiyodaは、もの凄い熱気と会場の暑さでじっくり見てまわることもできずにバテてしまった。 How to Make a Book with Steidl ドイツにある出版社のシュタイデルを追いかけたドキュメンタリー。たとえばジョエル・スタンフィールドが、iPhoneで撮ったドバイのショッピングモールの写真をどういうかたちの本にするか優柔不断気味にシュタイデルに相談してそれに力強く答えるやり取りや、シャネルのショーに赴きカール・ラガーフェルトにお伺いするどこか場違いな様子や、どこか中東のお金持ちの注文にゴマをするみたいなシーンは中小企業のオヤジっぽくて憎めない。 シュタイデルのおっさんは、完成した本をスーツケースに入れるのにパッキングできずにベルトを切っちゃうところや、打ち合わせで胸ポケットにペンを逆さまに入れちゃって服に染みをつけるあたりとか、なぜか全色のiPod miniを揃えて飛行機に乗って機内サービスのクラッカーを並べるあたりとか、そういう人の癖が出ているシーンが特に印象的でおもしろかった。
