Nobody Reads This – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Art Book Fair is now establishing a lasting presence at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. Nobody Reads This 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. Art Book Fair will take place on the first weekend of December – 6—7 December 2025.

Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art invites print enthusiasts and collectors, as well as those discovering the richness of the publishing scene or seeking a unique Christmas gift. 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 fair also serves as a meeting place for publishers, designers and artists, providing space for conversation and mutual learning.

The programme will include lectures, discussions, film screenings, music events, and workshops aimed at developing practical skills and encouraging own publishing experiments. The event will showcase over 50 publications gathered through an open call for self-published artist's books – ranging from art books and photobooks to zines and paper objects.

Art Book Fair represents the first step in building a community around publishing practices. On 6 December 2025, a new bookshop will open 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. In the spring, the Castle courtyard will host the second edition of the fair.
