Founded in 2010 and supported by LUMA Arles since 2015, Offprint is a platform dedicated to research and support for artistic creation, presented through two annual fairs held in London and Paris.
Throughout the year, Offprint carefully selects a range of publishers and publications from around the world that are seldom represented within traditional book market.
These fairs showcase a diverse community of participants, including publishers, artists, photographers, graphic designers, art schools, research centers, collectives, and independent curators. They also serve as forums for intellectual exchange by hosting conferences, workshops, and book signings.
Each year, Offprint attracts over 35,000 visitors—professionals, artists, designers, architects, critics, educators, students, and art enthusiasts. Together, they make Offprint a key event in the independent publishing and contemporary art calendar.
In addition to these events, Offprint maintains a presence in Arles through two bookstores: one located within The Tower of LUMA Arles, and the other as a dedicated corner at the Hôtel Arlatan.
About this year’s graphic identity
"Au fond perdu sans autrice" (Full bleed without author) presents two alternating styles of writing, one generated by AI and the other created by a graphic designer, evoking the potential disappearance of the graphic designer as an author and questioning their place in a society that tends to automate creative processes.
