Printing at the Edge:
36th Annual Conference
UC San Diego
San Diego sits at the southwest corner of the United States: at the edge of the United States, at the edge of the international border with Mexico, and at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Reflecting this location the American Printing History Association invites you to the 36th annual conference exploring transformative moments in printing history that have changed the direction of printing, typography, book design and publishing.
The program will be held in the Faculty Center at the University of California, San Diego, in La Jolla. The keynote speech will be given by Pamela Smith, author of Passions in Print: Private Press Artistry in New Mexico 1834-Present. There will be thirteen additional presentations on the theme, Printing from the Edge. Attendees will also be able to attend activities on Friday afternoon, including tours of the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the Stuart Collection of site-specific art on campus, a book fair, and a screening of the documentary Proceed and Be Bold.
