Between Books
Kunsthalle Düsseldorf Art Book Fair

After the great success of the premiere in 2023, Between Books will take place again at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf from 20 to 22 September 2024!

Independent art book publishers, artists, independent publishing/DIY collectives, organisations, associations, zines and magazines are invited to present themselves to a broad audience in the exhibition spaces of Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and to show how versatile, exciting and contemporary the medium of books can be. The main focus lies on the local and regional publishing scene, but protagonists from all over Germany and neighbouring European countries will also be present.

The art book fair will be accompanied by an exciting and interactive supporting programme with book presentations, lectures, talks, performances and workshops.

Between Books is both meeting place for the discourse on (art) books, alternative forms of publication and publishing as a practice as well as a place to discover, browse and get to know each other.

Applications for a booth (and further information on the requirements for booth applications) can be found here.
Deadline: 20 May 2024

Further information on the exhibitors and the supporting programme will be published in summer 2024.

Opening hours Between Books:
Friday, 20 September 2024, 3 – 10 pm
Saturday, 21 September 2024, 12 – 8 pm
Sunday, 22 September 2024, 11 am – 5 pm
