MORE INFORMATION HERE!
The Publications and Multiples Fair is an annual exposition of contemporary artist books, prints, publications, sculptures, jewelry, textiles, and works produced in multiple. This event has grown tremendously, from having 15 vendors in its first year to having 150 in its seventh year. Taking up one weekend in the spring, PMF acts as a beacon for artists across the country. People traveling from both coasts come together to sell the wares they have produced throughout the year and stay for the connections made with makers they may have never met before. In more recent years have we curated additional on-site programming throughout the weekend that includes panel discussions on contemporary identity issues, poetry readings, musical performances, motivational speeches, and artist talks.
Formed in 2009, Open Space is a DIY artist-run gallery and collective located in Baltimore, Maryland.

HAIR CLUB (with Kelly Lloyd) 4:00-5:00pm
Hair Club would like to invite participants to use a variety of materials to construct their own merkin, or pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by sex workers, but are now used as decorative items by people of all genders, and for “modesty” purposes by actors. During this event, while constructing our merkins with a variety of materials including sequins, fringe, felt, faux-fur, yarn, ribbon and glitter paper, we will engage participants in a discussion around body hair, specifically pubic hair, looking at the vilification of women’s body hair and the portrayal of pubic hair in pop culture. This workshop will explore a humorous DIY strategy to processing culture’s dictates about where hair should and should not be, while Kate Bush plays in the background. Co-founded by Suzanne Gold, Kelly Lloyd, and Michal Lynn Shumate, HAIR CLUB is an interdisciplinary, research-based art collective whose work is centered around the multivalent topic of HAIR.
Formed in 2009, Open Space is a DIY artist-run gallery and collective located in Baltimore, Maryland.

Please join us for a closing reception for Midnight Deli by Hyun Cho. We will serve Mulled Cider with optional Pikesville. The reception will take place from 1-5pm on 12/10/16 at 512 W. Franklin St. Baltimore, MD 21201
Midnight Deli
With the energy of youth iconography, rock 'n' roll, and the urban landscape, Hyun Cho's Midnight Deli recalls the zeitgeist and everyday ephemera of city life.
After sketching a chainlink fence on a phone app, Cho has the image fabricated as a neon sign, transforming the immateriality of digital space into glowing physicality. The push and pull between the immediate sketch and the final crafted work implies a space between spontaneity and structure.
Cho's characteristic approach to repurposing colloquial phrases, messages, and song lyrics is seen in several pieces including Ask My Daddy. In such works Cho reinterprets registers of contemporary language, especially those related to popular youth subculture.
Hyun Cho is a New York based artist, born in South Korea.

Seventh Annual Publication and Multiples Fair, April 9th & 10th 2016, Baltimore Design School, 1500 Barclay St., Baltimore MD
by Michael Shattuck
When I hear the question “Is X dead?” where “X” equals any number of things, punk, print, poetry, the Internet, what-have-you, I try to square that with what I’ve read about how the possibility of ending is what enables meaning. Just over a week into April, the weather suggests the possibility of breaking out a nice scarf for observing winter’s annual hemispheric extinction bursts.
Meanwhile, packs of murals depicting animals with the worlds and stars spliced onto their backs stalk the building’s perimeter.
So, inside. We begin with a sizable room. A sizable room with bodies and impossibly high windows for light.
Delineate the platforms, rows of surface area to form the outlines of mixing space, the uproarious social exchange and traffic, and suffused with politic (we got more in back). Food-stuff and coffee proceeds go to the house. Inhale the vital bizarre pageantry like churning peacock feathers, multitudes of aquamarine and indigo eyes, layered over layer.
A technically finite stretch packed with uncountable objects of painstaking love and care so now where do you really start. It’s a big tent.
Not merely symbols on paper of every size, on cardboard, woven fabric, and clay pots and silver studded chains and emerald plants and racks of encased magnetic tapes. Hand sketched, stitched, sanded, laser cut, spray painted, silk screened, and kiln blasted.
1,000 analog plateaus. Why this medium onto which you stamp your life and energy?
Drapes and mouse pads on this Ark are in the furthest category from stowaway. More often will those forms and creatures dismissed as prey, for time or ravenous accuracy, posses a wider range of vision and affinity for reproduction.
