Open Call

We are participating in the Art Book Fair again this year and would love to have you join us!
For our call for proposals this year, we are particularly interested in work that in some way approaches the themes of community building, knowledge sharing, and mutual support. However, we are also open to proposals that do not fit these themes exactly. Surprise us!

Send us your proposal by May 27 to: out.about.hello@gmail.com, in a pdf file of max 2 A4 pages, with a zine / book / paper / object / drawing / recording … or whatever you are dying to show. It doesn’t have to be a finished project (as long as it’s ready in time for the show).

Review

The “I Never Read Art Book Fair” takes place regularly in Basel and offers the opportunity to exhibit and sell your own publications and works. By means of an Open Call last fall and this early summer, we gave young creatives the opportunity to offer their own editions at the Art Book Fair. In each case, 100% of the proceeds went to the artists and designers, and a large part of the participation fee was covered by our association. Accessibility and inclusion are of particular importance to us, so that we do not adopt the often problematic and non-transparent selection processes that are unfortunately still common in the cultural industry.
