As the world's leading trading center for printed and digital content, the Frankfurt Book Fair is a groundbreaking cultural event. As a museum and a site of production for art and media-relevant literature, the ZKM will once again be present at the internationally renowned trade fair in 2018, presenting its publications and selected interactive installations.
From Wednesday to Sunday, October 10–14, 2018, you will find us from 9 am to 6:30 pm in the »THE ARTS+« area. On 3,000 square meters in Hall 4.1, »THE ARTS+« brings together museums, cultural institutions, media companies, creative people and pioneers from technology and business at the Book Fair. The motto for 2018 is: The cultural heritage of the future in the age of digitization. The ZKM, once called the »Digital Bauhaus« by its founding director and home in the digital world, will of course not be absent with its expertise and will even be represented with two stands.
In Hall 4.1, Stand N72, we will be presenting ZKM publications and a travel version of the installation »YOU:R:CODE«. Stand Q71, also in Hall 4.1, will show a travel version of the installation »The World as a Field of Data« and a travel version of the installation »Alphabet Space«. All installations in their original version are also on display in the exhibition »Open Codes. The World as a Field of Data«.
We are looking forward to your visit!
