The sixth edition of VOLUMES – Art Publishing Days – will present a fine selection of local and international artists and art books, zines and magazines. This hybrid event will also feature a range of exhibitions, performances, talks, readings, workshops as well as a symposium. VOLUMES is the only fair and festival for independent art publishing in Zürich. On the two floors of the Kunsthalle Zürich, the visitors will be able to browse through publishers’ stands, visit the exhibition floor and dive deeper into various artistic practices, take part in free workshops, as well as attend a programme of talks and performances. For the first time, the event will also take place in the room of Luma Westbau on the third floor of Löwenbräu Kunst, just opposite the Kunsthalle room (where the program was already happening last year).

We are happy to present a special focus with the symposium „Publishing and archival strategies in artistic practices (The example of Peter Trachsel archive)“, which will take place in the Luma Westbau room on Saturday afternoon.

As every year, the “International Open Call” exhibition, for which zinesters and artists from all around the world donate one publication, will present a snapshot of the current international DIY publishing scene.

Opening hours:
Friday, 17 – 22 h
Saturday, 12 – 20 h
Sunday, 12 – 18 h
