An international presentation forum for the book as an art medium and the large
variety of current forms of book art - this is how the EDITIONALE presents itself this year for the first time taking
place in Vienna, too. From Friday, 6 March 2020, the fair will be open to visitors for a period of three days on the premises
of the extension building of the University of Applied Arts Vienna that opened at Vordere Zollamtstraße in 2018. The
entry is free of charge.
The group of exhibitors was intentionally kept small to enable an intense exchange
with visitors. The exhibitors of the 1. EDITIONALE Wien were carefully selected and come from Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Luxemburg,
Hungary, and Austria. The exhibition includes, among others, unique sketch books with drawings and text in mixed technique
by the artist Tone Fink who lives in Vienna. There are also presentations by the Edition Thurnhof from Horn and the Edition
Thanhäuser from Ottensheim. Further exhibitors are the Irish REDFOXPRESS, the Japan-born artist Setsuko Fukushima who lives
in Germany, the Hungarian artist Ilona Kiss, as well as ERGO PERS from Belgium.
The German organizers are
looking for new synergies to arise from the event taking place in Vienna and therefore also invited a selection of students
and graduates of the University of Applied Arts Vienna to present their works at the 1. EDITIONALE Wien.
Artists
books are books designed, painted, pasted or printed by artists. They are book objects that reach beyond the reference frame
of a standard book and in which readability stands back to make room for other perspectives on paper, script, and text, they
are editions available in small numbers, hand press prints, as well as unique books.
