The Spring issue of Aperture, “Counter Histories” will be available with special subscription discounts, exclusively at Expo Chicago.
Aperture will also present a selection of rare and signed books, as well as new prints and editions by Kelli Connell, Myriam Boulos, Kristine Potter, Carlos Idun-Tawiah, and McKayla Chandler. The proceeds from Aperture’s limited-edition print program, in addition to benefiting the artists, help support Aperture’s not-for-profit publishing and public programs.
