The inaugural Booked: Tai Kwun Contemporary’s Hong Kong Art Book Fair will be hosted within Tai Kwun’s museum-standard galleries, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, situated within the restored Central Police Station compound in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central district. As a landmark revitalisation project, Tai Kwun – Centre for Heritage and Arts, has welcomed over one million visitors since opening in May 2018.

As a new, large-scale art book fair in Asia, Booked underscores Tai Kwun Contemporary’s dedication to presenting contemporary art programmes in support of the expanding art ecology in Hong Kong. This includes providing a platform for local, regional, and international creative practitioners who use books as a medium of artistic expression to share their work. It also supports publishers invested in art books and publications that have been created as artworks, and enables public audiences to enjoy and engage with these materials as an important resource for learning and research.

There will be a total of around 50-60 booksellers, and a corresponding programme of displays, live and sound performances, public talks, and special projects that will accompany the fair.
