Dear Friends,

We regret to inform that due to circumstances surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic, we will be postponing this years edition of VOLUME | Another Art Book Fair and BOOK MACHINE.

Due to the unforeseeable nature of the situation, we had to make an early decision whether it would be wise for us to go ahead with this years book fair. With the health and safety of our exhibitors and audiences being our primary concern, we decided it would be in the best interest not to make arrangements that could potentially put people at risk.

We are aware this is a time when independent publishers and book-makers are going to need more support than ever. While we can not provide space to host a gathering this year, we would encourage our audience to continue to support publishers through their stores and online platforms until we can safely get together again.

We would like to thank our presenting partners Printed Matter Inc., New York, and Perimeter Books, Melbourne, for their support - and we would would also encourage you to support them through their online stores.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this decision may have caused you. But assuming 2021 is somewhat less dramatic, both VOLUME and BOOK MACHINE will return to our program again then.

For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at volume@artspace.org.au
