SPINE BOOK FORUM – curated by Distanz – presents, as a featured guest of the Liste Art Fair Basel, new publications from 30 publishers from the fields of literature, theory, architecture, and contemporary art as well as a selection of magazines during the art fair.
SPINE was launched in 2022 by DISTANZ as a collaborative,
cross-disciplinary book fair and has since fostered dialogue among
specialized publishers at various venues for contemporary art.
A selection of artists’ editions is presented at SPINE BOOK FORUM, including works by Karin Hueber / HUSCH, Edit Oderbolz, and Nienke Terpsma, as well as caps by literaturensohn. This year’s artist t-shirt, designed by Anders Clausen in collaboration with Carhartt WIP, is also available as an edition of 200.
