HEAD – Geneva is organising the 5th edition of P.A.G.E.S., which will be held this year at Palexpo in collaboration with Art Genève. The fair will once again welcome around a hundred publishers, offering art and design publications, first editions, fanzines, posters, comics, magazines, limited editions and other printed objects. A series of talks and events around publishing will happen throughout the weekend, as well as exhibits and book launches. The full show programme is available below.
Gavillet & Cie is a graphic design studio based in Geneva, founded in 2001 by Gilles Gavillet and David Rust, and joined by Vincent Devaud in 2009. The studio is particularly active in the fields of art and design, creating visual identities, publications, and campaigns for clients such as JRP Ringier, Mamco, Photo Elysée, Art Basel, and the Guggenheim Museum. Gavillet & Cie has often been recognized at the Swiss Design Awards and in the Most Beautiful Swiss Books competition. They received the Jan Tschichold Prize in 2005 and the Swiss Grand Award for Design in 2012. Their significant contributions and approach have left a lasting impact on the art publishing culture in Switzerland. A retrospective exhibition is dedicated to their work, showcasing more than a hundred projects created over the past 20 years. Gavillet & Cie also designed the poster and visual identity for this edition of P.A.G.E.S., for which they proposed overprinting a selection of works from their archives.
During a cross-disciplinary course, a group of students from HEAD worked on designing a reading space and staging the collection of books published by HEAD – Genève. This project takes the shape of a familial domestic environment—an apartment where books are discovered in unusual and unexpected places. The "kitchen" will serve as a space for book launches throughout the fair. For more information see "Other events."
This project was made possible through a collaboration with La Carte Blanche, an association supporting vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and those with mental or physical health challenges. By managing a second-hand store, housing facilities, and the restaurant La Carte Gourmande, the association is evolving into a self-financed social enterprise that assists at-risk populations and contributes to social and professional reintegration.

A project by Visarte Genève

The collection includes artist books, prints, screen prints, digital prints, sculptural objects, and series-based creations.

The conference program transforms into a space to meet and share tangible experiences with our invitees. We take up the theme initiated in 2023: "One head, two hats", the practice of a designer/publisher.
Léna Araguas , Alaric Garnier
Rotolux Press is a nonprofit, association-based publishing house founded in 2015 by Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier. Rotolux Press supports and promotes contemporary creation by publishing unique projects of various scopes, focusing on art, design, poetry, literature, photography, and drawing. Breaking down the boundaries between these disciplines is a key driving force for the publishing house, and the attention we give to a certain idea of marginality gradually shapes our editorial line. Each Rotolux Press book is designed "tailor-made," built upon artistic and political affinities between the authors and us. We strive to achieve the greatest possible harmony between content, form, and the economic constraints specific to each project. As a result, formats, typefaces, layouts, printing techniques, and binding methods are reconsidered with each new publication.
Julie Héneault
Espace Ness is a graphic design studio based in Paris and founded in 2018 by Émilie Ferrat, Julie Héneault and Sophie Rentien Lando. After studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and working as independents, they started mutualising their practices and knowledge in a common space.
Their graphic design takes the shape of identities, websites, spaces, books or catalogs, and aims to be developed in close collaboration with the institutions, artists and researchers involved. They have a strong focus on content, materiality and typography. Émilie and Julie teach graphic design respectively at ENSBA, Lyon (Fr) and KASK, Ghent (Be).
Espace Ness is their atelier but also a place that hosts book launches, exhibitions, discussions and various small events. Ness Books is an eclectic non-profit editorial platform publishing the works of emerging artists, researchers and writers, as well as facsimiles or even self-initiated researches.
Rudy Guedj
Building Fictions (BF) is a publishing project that sets out to explore ‘building’ as a methodology, with the intent to highlight the potential of storytelling within practices at the intersection of art, design, architecture, literature. Not limited by the first definition of a building as a space, BF is interested in collaboration as an assembling, layering process. The projects published often are the result of collaborative work from which emerge questions on the established relation between text and image as autonomous yet related languages. While investigating fictional strategies and their potential within artistic production, BF wants to find out where those strategies are at play in the context of real constructions, could those be made of concrete or be more ephemeral, metaphorical, thus anchoring the effects of fictions within the real world.
Jurgen Maelfeyt
Jurgen Maelfeyt is a Belgian creative director, publisher, and artist based between Paris and Ghent. He is the founder of Monogram Paris and the independent publishing platform APE (Art Paper Editions), established in 2010.
Through APE, Maelfeyt has published works by artists and photographers such as Richard Kern, Liv Liberg, Carlijn Jacobs, Camille Vivier, Paul Kooiker, and John Yuyi. His publications are held in institutional libraries, including MoMA, Centre Pompidou, and MACBA. In addition to publishing, Maelfeyt is a self-published artist and teaches graphic design. His understanding of the publishing landscape is shaped by firsthand experience, nuance, and instinct. Maelfeyt's own photographic works include FURS (2021), WET (2022), TOY (2024) and LIPS (2018). His contributions to art book publishing have been recognized in various art and design publications and awards, highlighting his role in shaping contemporary art book culture.

HEAD Photographies
The teaching of photography holds an important place within the programs offered by the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD – Genève). While it is not a dedicated photography school, specific training is available in the Visual Arts and Visual Communication departments, connected through the Photography pool. These programs address the richness and diversity of current practices, focusing particularly on the contemporary condition of the image at a time when it has never been more widely used, shared, and when photography has never been so close to dissolving into an undifferentiated flow.
Launched in 2019, HEAD Photographies is a collection aimed at showcasing the most distinctive approaches developed by students of the Geneva University of Art and Design through photography.

Poster Cult:
Dafi Kühne is one of Switzerland’s foremost poster designers whose diverse, bold work embraces both traditional production tools and modern design processes. Although his posters are printed on presses from the 1960s, they do not look like typical letterpress prints. Instead, they connect with the history of letterpress production while pushing the boundaries of long-established graphic and typographic techniques. Using analog printing presses, computer software applications, laser cutters, and freshly cast hot-metal-type, he creates wildly creative, large-format posters. Working from his vast letterpress studio in the Swiss Alps, Dafi Kühne simultaneously drives poster culture and upholds the cult of the poster.
