Some online users felt that the price of the “Walking Exhibitor” could not be justified, given its set-up. Others likened it to a “hotdog vendor”. The Singapore Art Book Fair was founded in 2013 and has run for 11 editions thus far. In its Apr. 9 statement, its organisers said that this year’s fair will be held at a smaller venue. This would mean smaller crowds and the opportunity to “experiment with formats at a more manageable scale”. “We hear your concerns,” the organisers said, adding that they “understand now that [the exhibition format] was inappropriate”. The organisers have since closed the open call for the ‘Walking Exhibitors’, as they “take some time to workshop through the mechanics of the fair”. #mothershipnews #news #singapore #singaporeartbookfair
