THE WEST PALM BEACH ALTERNATIVE BOOK FAIR 2018


The West Palm Beach Alternative Book Fair 2018

The Box Gallery initiates the first national alternative book fair in West Palm Beach. From coast to coast artists, authors, photographers, and cultural icons of the punk and queer culture come to celebrate the visions of the past and share their visions for the future. From uptown to downtown, high brow to low brow, there will be a series of talks lectures, and presentations that span almost a half of century of documentation beginning from the early 70's to present. 

This event is co-organized Rolando Chang Barrero and Sandra Schulman.


A whirlwind weekend 

of special presentations, talks, live music, and afterparties!

Artist spotlight: Mothmeister



BIO:
Mothmeister is the nonstop morphing alter ego of two artistic soulmates
based in Belgium, home of surrealism. In their eerie Post-Mortem Fairy Talesthey portray a series of masked, grotesque characters — often accompanied by startling stuffed animals and a variety of curiosa from their private collection. 

Just like in the Victorian era, when deceased loved ones were photographed
as a memento for grieving relatives, Mothmeister immortalizes animals in
a weird and wonderful fairy-tale world.

ABOUT THEIR BOOK:


In addition to the numerous eccentric portraits in our book, Mothmeister also
reveals a unique look behind the mask: from the duo’s intriguing adventures
in the world’s most abandoned places to their untamed passion for taxidermy,
masks and fascinating on-the-road images, exposing their quenchless Wanderlust.



The book is available through mothmeister.etsy.com
