Edition Patrick Frey’s Book Talk at Bungee Space | April 21, 2024 6 PM

Let's Talk Books with Edition Patrick Frey!

Gloria and Stephanie—who both have been with the independent Swiss publisher for more than a decade—are bringing mini book performances to Bungee Space. Together with their local collaborators they will speak on urban happenstance, textile design for covers, graphic novels turning into artists' books and what trust has to do with making photo books.

1. An introduction about Edition Patrick Frey by Gloria Wismer (Head of Press & Marketing and also the founder and co-director of Volumes, the independent art publishing fair of Zürich) and Stephanie Rebonati (Independent art book editor and writer & ​​International Publisher Services Manager at Artbook D.A.P. in New York)—both working at Edition Patrick Frey for more than 10 years. Gloria and Stephanie will not only introduce the history and publishing program but also briefly talk about books that are specially dear to them: 

   Gloria will give insight into Pathé’O which she project-managed.
   Stephanie will speak about Early Retirement which she copy-edited and project-managed.

2. A book presentation by Kathleen Engman, the mother of Charlie Engman and the subject of his photo book, MOM. Kathleen will briefly speak on what trust has to do with making photo books.
