MONO.PUNKT #29: THREE LETTER WORDS

Did we mention that art book fairs are all over the place these days? But this weekend is special, because this weekend we will see the revival of one of our favourite fairs ever, London’s legendary and long gone AWOL Publish and Be Damned.
Undergoing a revamp and reappearing under a new name – Three Letter [...]

MONO.PUNKT #27: DUBLIN ART BOOK FAIR

Autumn is art book fair season, and hardly a weekend passes where publishers and magazine makers do not convene at some location in the world to present their efforts. This weekend is the turn of the cherished town of Dublin for the fourth installment of the Dublin Art Book Fair, where Temple Bar Gallery invited [...]

MONO.PUNKT #24: SALON LIGHT / PARIS

La littérature and les beaux arts are part of French culture as much as, say, a glass of red wine and a fat chunk of camembert, so it’s no surprise that Salon Light, the annual art book fair organised by CNEAI, should already invite to its 10th anniversary, celebrated in style with a pompous nuit [...]

MONO.PUNKT #21 & #22: BERLIN VS NEW YORK

Berlin is the new New York, it is often being said, but what’s for sure is that the New York Art Book Fair is the mother of all art book fairs, including the little Berlin offspring Miss Read. As it happens, the dates for both coincide this year, with both opening today through Sunday. Miss [...]

MONO.PUNKT #21: ART KREUZBERG

Kreuzberg has been our home since the very early days of mono.kultur, so of course we won’t say no to an invitation to participate at the annual Art Kreuzberg where the closed doors of artists studios and other cultural spaces miraculously open. Come and visit us at our friends’ space Erd im Feuer, a former [...]

MONO.PUNKT #20: I NEVER READ / BASEL

‘I never read, I only look at the pictures,’ goes the famous saying by Andy Warhol, which we probably all can relate to at some time or other. I Never Read is the name of the splendid art book fair opening tomorrow which no art fair worth its name can do without these days, especially [...]

EPILOGUE: ONE THOUSAND BOOKS

Just in case you were wondering what a book art fair within a supermarket might look like: it looks like this. Or at least in Denmark it does.

MONO.PUNKT 18 & 19: COPENHAGEN & HONG KONG

Tonight at 17h is the kick-off for not just one but two fairs of a kind at the opposite ends of the world, united by a thin thread of both featuring our humble adventure in print among their wares.
‘Art Books, Milk & Mayonnaise’ might sound like a typically Danish eccentricity, but for good reason, since [...]

MONO.PUNKT #16: NEW YORK ART BOOK FAIR 2012

This year as every year, in autumn time, the mother of all art book fairs descends onto New York, where they do everything a little bigger and brighter than the rest of the world. Please come visit us at the New York Art Book Fair 2012, where we will share as usual a table with [...]

MONO.PUNKT #15: FACING PAGES

This weekend sees the second installment of the magazine festival Facing Pages (previously called O.K. Festival) descend upon the lovely city of Arnhem in the Netherlands – three days full of talks, events, launches, exhibitions and parties, including too many interesting speakers to list here – let’s just say they really did their homework. To [...]
