SETOUCHI ART BOOK FAIR, Setouchi Triennale’s official program will be held in October 2019. For centuries, Setouchi has been the crossing point of foreign arts and cultures. Now the area has evolved as an international art hub where highly profiled artists and people from the art world gather every three years: Setouchi Triennale. For the first time this internationally claimed art festival will host “Setouchi Art Book Fair” to exhibit foreign arts and cultures in the form of art books. In the midst of a digital revolution, books are no longer mere information media. The art book is a typical example: it is an “art work” that you can “touch” and “ feel” and at the same time a “partner” that can become part of your daily life.
The finest selections of bookshops, publishers and artists from Asia and beyond will join us to present their unique collections, zines, photo books, picture books and more. The three days of Setouchi Art Book Fair will be full of surprises and excitement open to both grown-ups and children.
