From September 11 to 13, 2026, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf transforms into a vibrant meeting point for art book publishers, zines, magazines, independent publishing, and the cultural discourse surrounding the printed word.

A place for discoveries, language, and independent publishing forms

Between Books focuses on those literary and publication forms that often lie beyond the mainstream: experimental books, artistic editions, DIY collectives, collections, magazines, and visual narratives. Kunsthalle Düsseldorf describes the fair as a space for discovery, browsing, and getting to know each other, as well as a place where books and publishing as a practice are discussed. This mixture of trade fair and public reading forum gives the format its unique dynamic. ([kunsthalle-duesseldorf.de](https://www.kunsthalle-duesseldorf.de/ausstellungen/betweenbooks2026/))

The supporting program makes the fair a space for conversation

With workshops, performances, talks, and lectures, the Art Book Fair gains a dynamic, open reading atmosphere. Those interested in the present state of the book experience not only sales tables here, but also arguments, positions, and aesthetic viewpoints. The focus on the local and regional publishing scene simultaneously broadens the perspective to overregional viewpoints from across Germany and beyond.
