ArtsLibris
ARCOlisboa - 2024
ArtsLibris was founded in 2009, 15 years ago, as a publishing fair project specialising in artist publications, photobooks, contemporary thought, desktop publishing and digital publications. It has three annual venues, ArtsLibris Barcelona, ArtsLibris ARCOmadrid and ArtsLibris ARCOlisboa.
In these fifteen years, ArtsLibris, renewing synergies and challenges, it has consolidated an international trajectory with its own identity, rooted in the Mediterranean and Latin American context. Dialogue and experimentation are the main hallmarks of ArtsLibris, whose fairs host curatorial projects, seminars, discussion forums, exhibitions, performances and interdisciplinary collaborations.
In its collaboration with ARCO, the project has established itself as a way of bringing contemporary art to the general public and especially to the new generations, encouraging collecting through a plural and rigorous editorial community, creating new meeting points between art and society through artist publications.
Since 2020 ArtsLibris has a digital bookshop and a permanent, lively and innovative space, the ArtsLibris bookshop in Barcelona
