Kunst Und Buch 1921 – 2021 – 2121

In conjunction with the -year anniversary of the Deutscher Kunstverlag, students at the Berlin University of the Arts took part in a competition. The aim was to examine the future of books as a print medium. The fascinating works selected—including video works, installations, and book-objects—were presented in an exhibition at municipal galleries. The catalogue documents the results, presents the artists and their works, and shows pictures of the exhibition. The presentation is supplemented by a foreword by the director of the publishing house, Katja Richter, welcoming remarks by the jury member Jörg Heiser, and an essay by Ilka Backmeister-Collacott that emphasizes the importance of the print medium in the age of technology in a declaration of love to the printed book.
