MISS READ 2013 opens on the 19th of September and brings together now for the fifth time the most important protagonists of art book publishing. In addition to some 100 international exhibitors, a series of talks, panel discussions, and presentations will explore the cutting edge of art publishing today.

MISS READ 2013 will be hosted by abc – art berlin contemporary, after taking place at KW Institute for Contemporary Art for the previous three years.

Books being a great medium to embody and disseminate ideas, artists use the book form to elaborate visual stories, generate archives, depict collections, present research results, or even practice book piracy. When artists, authors, and designers collaborate on production, the complex books that often result enable fresh perspectives. At best, the artist book is an artwork in its own right.

MISS READ: The Berlin Art Book Fair is conceived and organized by argobooks, Michalis Pichler and KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
