We are excited to announce the arrival of our 14th edition of TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR (“TABF”), set to be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo from November 28 (Thu) to December 1 (Sun). Around 300 publishers, galleries, and artists from Japan and abroad will gather to showcase their art books and zines during the TABF.
This year’s “Guest Country” will be Germany. “Guest Country” is our annual project, in which we introduce the publishing culture of one country or region. We invite a variety of bookmakers who are spearheading the German art publishing scene at the moment, starting from the artist Stefan Marx, who has had steady popularity in Japan; the Berlin Art Book Fair “MISS READ”; the long-established publisher Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König; and Steidl famed for their beautiful publications. Related to this, we also offer a book selection space curated by the aforementioned Marx; Michalis Pichler, the artist who runs “Miss Read”; curator Tenko Nakajima; bookstore do you read me?; and creative agency Studio Yukiko, offering a glimpse into the contemporary German independent publishing scene.
Ahead of the upcoming exhibition, “Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time”, which opens at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo on December 21, there will also be a “Sakamoto Library Branch”, presenting his collection of books; and special booths by New Balance, Hanatsubaki, BEAMS CULTUART and THREE. This year again, we plan to offer a diverse range of talk shows, workshops, book signing sessions, live performances, and the community project “Neighbors.” We aim to create a platform where we can locate the possibilities of the ever-evolving art book culture together with all participants at the fair. We look forward to seeing you at the TABF 2024.
