Nobody Reads This 2026

On 22 May 2026, the second edition of the Nobody Reads This Art Book Fair opens at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw. Following last year’s strong debut, which drew over 5,400 visitors, the fair returns with an expanded and more international focus.

Over the course of three days, Nobody Reads This will bring together more than 70 exhibitors, including art galleries, independent publishers, foundations, artist run initiatives, and individual practitioners. Set within the courtyard of Ujazdowski Castle, the fair creates a concentrated space for printed matter, where publications can be experienced beyond the screen, tactile, immediate, and rooted in materiality.

This year’s edition places particular emphasis on international exchange. With a growing number of participants from outside Poland, the fair fosters dialogue across borders and disciplines, encouraging new collaborations and shared perspectives within the fields of art, publishing, and design.

Accompanying the fair is a curated program of talks, workshops, and presentations running from 22 to 24 May. Industry focused sessions offer insight into the processes behind publishing, from concept to production, while book launches and artist talks open up the programe to a broader audience.

Positioned at the intersection of artistic practice and independent publishing, Nobody Reads This addresses both professionals and enthusiasts alike. It offers opportunities to present work, expand networks, and discover new approaches, as well as to engage collectors, readers, and anyone interested in printed matter beyond mainstream distribution. The fair invites visitors to slow down, engage with detail, and explore publishing as a physical and cultural practice.
