ARCHIVE

This time, IACK will be holding a micro art book fair called "Local (Art) Book Market," which will feature locally based, independent artists and spaces.

Since its establishment, IACK has been working to convey the fun and depth of reading anthologies, but this latest project is an event that aims to make art book fairs, which continue to be the linchpin of art book fairs, more accessible to the public by treating art book collections as a broader culture that goes beyond the books themselves. For creators, it will be an opportunity to deliver their works directly to the audience, and for the audience, it will be an opportunity to enjoy art books in a more expansive way than ever before through interaction over the tables.

The first event will feature Ishikawa-based brands "CYRO", "IACK", "Keijiban", and "NN", as well as "flotsam books" from Tokyo.

Please take this opportunity to visit us.
