Publishing Contemporary Artist Books, Zines, Monographs & Art Prints

Victoria Fave Shawn O’Keefe (AKA Trust36 ) has a great blog showcasing his art and design work. Shawn is one of 150 artists involved in an upcoming art show in Vancouver called the Cheaper Show. “The concept of The Cheaper Show is very simple: 150 multi-disciplined international artists presenting 300 pieces of art, each priced at $200 for one night only. Far from being an ‘art sale,’ each exhibiting artist consciously makes a sacrifice by selling their work for less than its potential value. This creates united support for the event, the arts community, and an opportunity for this show to take place in an environment that is accessible to everyone. In turn, many walk away with sales, exposure, commissions and gallery representation, as well as having an opportunity to connect with peers on an even playing field.”

Some samples of Shawn’s work below.
