Our annual independent art publishing fair Super BOOKS is taking place for the seventh time. This two-day event brings together over seventy regional and international artists, designers, publishers, and institutions, including universities, to present their latest productions.
Super BOOKS focuses on publications that question and rethink the boundaries of the book medium, with themes, formats, and techniques that are constantly expanding. Advocating the ethics of accessibility, which is practised through pricing and direct distribution, alternative publishing provides a counterweight to the conventional format of the publishing market. Through direct exchange with artists and producers, audiences get to know diverse forms of artistic practice, which also shape the understanding of our programme. In addition to the book presentations, there are workshops for all ages, as well as a programme of talks, performances, and sound events by Radio 80000.
Super BOOKS is a cooperation project between Haus der Kunst, AAP Archiv Künstlerpublikationen, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Akademie der Bildenden Künste München, and Kunsthochschule Kassel.
Curated by Sabine Brantl (Haus der Kunst) with Hubert Kretschmer (AAP Archiv Künstlerpublikationen), and Dr. Antje Goetzke (formerly Lilian Landes) (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek).
