Between Books
Kunsthalle Düsseldorf Art Book Fair

3 Days
80 Exhibitors
20 Workshops, Talks & Lectures

After two successful editions in 2023 and 2024, Between Books will take place for a third time at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf from September 19 to 21, 2025!

Independent art book publishers, artists, independent publishing/DIY collectives, organisations, associations, zines and magazines will present themselves to a broad audience in the exhibition spaces of Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and 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 workshops, performances, talks and lectures.

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.

The Open Call to apply for a booth starts on 15 March 2025.

For the first time this year, exhibitors will be selected by a jury consisting of Stefan Marx (artist), Lea Szramek (Verlag Kettler), Daniel Seemayer (Department of Typography, Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences), Juliane Hoffmanns (Curation & Exhibition Realisation, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf) and Alicia Holthausen ( Interim Artistic Director, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf).
