Press Release
The fifth edition of Super BOOKS will take place in November. This annual independent art publishing fair brings together more than 50 artists, designers, publishers, institutions, and universities to present their latest productions at Haus der Kunst. The open call for applications is now open.
Super BOOKS focuses on publications that question and rethink the boundaries of books as a medium, and which feature themes, formats, and techniques that are constantly expanding. Advocating the ethics of accessibility, which is practiced through pricing and direct distribution, alternative publishing forms a counterweight to the conventional format of the publishing market. In addition to the book presentations, workshops for all age groups, a programme of talks, performances, and sound events is scheduled throughout those two days. Radio 80000, the cultural-generational and non-commercial Munich-based online radio station, will set up its studio during the event and broadcast live from Haus der Kunst.
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 Lilian Landes (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek).
