Press release

On 30 and 31 October 2026, Super BOOKS, the independent artists‘ books fair, takes place for the seventh time at Haus der Kunst. Super BOOKS 7 is admission-free, and features book presentations, alongside workshops for all ages, a programme of talks, performances and live broadcasts from the non-commercial Munich radio station Radio 80000.

Spanning two days, the event brings together 68 local, national and international artists, designers, publishers and institutions, including five universities, to present their latest works and engage directly with visitors. Super BOOKS 7 focuses on publications that question and rethink the boundaries of books as a 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. For the first time, Open Haus takes place simultaneously on Friday 30 October, offering free admission to all exhibitions from 4 pm to 10 pm and creating a new opportunity to connect people, artistic practice, and perspectives.

Super BOOKS is a cooperation project between Haus der Kunst, AAP Archiv Künstlerpublikationen, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. Curated by Sabine Brantl (Haus der Kunst) with Hubert Kretschmer (AAP Archiv Künstlerpublikationen), and Dr. Antje Goetzke (formerly Lilian Landes) (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek).
