Nobody Reads This: Art Book Fair
Nobody Reads This: Art Book Fair is now establishing a lasting presence at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. It is an event created for art, publishing and design communities, responding to the need for a space dedicated to regular meetings, exchange of experiences and the presentation of creative work in book form.
Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art invites print enthusiasts and collectors, as well as those discovering the richness of the publishing scene. In an era of digital saturation, it offers a moment to focus on the personal and tangible experience of engaging with a book. Nobody Reads This: Art Book Fair also serves as a meeting place for publishers, designers and artists, providing space for conversation and mutual learning.
Nobody Reads This: Art Book Fair represents the first step in building a community around publishing practices. On 6 December 2025, a new bookshop was opened at the Castle, showcasing photobooks and graphic books, artistic zines, art publications, and books published as a result of creative residencies in a space designed by an architect Maciej Siuda and a visual artist Katarzyna Przezwańska.
The programme of the first edition held in December 2025 included lectures, discussions, film screenings, music events, and workshops aimed at developing practical skills and encouraging own publishing experiments. The event attracted 5,440 visitors, hosted 34 exhibitors and showcased over 60 publications gathered through an open call for self-published artist's books – ranging from art books and photobooks to zines and paper objects.
In the spring of 2026, from 22 till 24 May, the second edition of the fair took place in the Castle courtyard hosting more than 70 exhibitors from Poland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United States.
