For the third time MISS READ has invited international publishers and artists to show their books at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin. As a genre of its own, the artist book reflects contemporary ways of artistic production and publishing to a great extent and also addresses issues of presentation and circulation as well as new strategies of distribution. Presenting a selection of more than 80 of the most active contributors in this field, the festival provides the rare opportunity to encounter and explore the contemporary scene of independent publishing.
The festival will present a series of lectures, performances and talks by artists, publishers, and graphic designers reflecting contemporary ways of artistic publishing. The program is a collaboration of Anke Schleper, Axel John Wieder and Alexis Zavialoff.
