Super BOOKS, our independent artists' book fair, will take place for the sixth time on 25. & 26.10.25.
We cordially invite all artists, designers and alternative publishers who would like to present their current productions at Haus der Kunst to apply. The deadline for applications is 20.7.25. Please send your application to superbooks@hausderkunst.de. You will also find the conditions of participation in the application form.
Super BOOKS focuses on publications that question and rethink the boundaries of the book medium and whose themes, formats, and techniques are constantly expanding. Advocating the ethics of accessibility, practiced through pricing and direct distribution, alternative publishing forms a counterweight to the conventional format of the publishing market.
Through direct exchange with artists and producers, visitors get to know diverse forms of artistic practice, which shape the understanding of art at Haus der Kunst.
This year, inspired by our exhibition "For Children. Art Stories since 1968", we are also very much looking forward to artists‘ books created for children and young people.
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).
