Program from Mai

What makes books beautiful today? Is beauty a prerequisite for us to pick up books in order to immerse ourselves in their pages? And can beauty be a contemporary design strategy to make the book medium attractive in the digital-interactive age? In this interview, Birte Kreft, Managing Director of the Stiftung Buchkunst, and Eva Linhart, curator at the Museum Angewandte Kunst, discuss their shared fascination with beautiful books and show examples of outstanding design and exemplary processing.

The event takes place as part of the City of Frankfurt am Main Literature Festival, literaTurm 2024, at the Museum Angewandte Kunst.

Admission 10 EUR. Tickets can be booked via the Alte Oper.
