Miss Read has invited international publishers to show a selection of their artist books and wants to provide the opportunity to examine this diverse and exquisite assortment, to explore it and to take it home. As a genre of its own, the artist book reflects contemporary ways of artistic production and publishing to a great extent and also addresses issues of presentation and circulation as well as new strategies of distribution. Miss Read is a joint event with the publishers argobooks and Michalis Pichler and wants to draw attention to the diversity of the contemporary scene of publishing for the first time in Berlin.
