About FOMO
Fear Of Missing Out implies anxiety associated with contemporary modes of communication, the profusion of cultural events made possible by a supposed diversification and democratising of media channels. FOMO implies its converse (JOMO), a joy associated with missing out, the potential of community-building on a micro or local level, in the means and in the relationships most ready to hand.
The fair provides opportunities for display, sale and distribution of artists’ publications of all kinds: editions, pamphlets, broadsheets, posters, leaflets, newspapers, journals, artists’ books, zines, stickers, audio recordings and other less easily definable publications. Proposals including newly published works are particularly encouraged.
FOMO Falmouth Art Publishing Fair will include: exhibitors stands, installations, public readings, presentations and performances in various spaces within the venue, including the galleries, meeting room, library and foyer.
