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.
