Fotobook DUMMIES Day & Limestone Books
Limestone Books and Fotobook DUMMIES Day (Taipei) are collaborating to exchange a box of books and showcase them in both locations (Taipei and Maastricht).
This event is in Maastricht physically, with the box from Taipei. Starting from December 1st, we will feature zines, artists’ books, and various other forms of publications curated by the Fotobook DUMMIES Day collective.
Fotobook DUMMIES Day, founded by Liu Chao-tze and Lin Junye in 2018, is an artist-led initiative focusing on photobooks and self-publishing. Initially established as a photobook fair, the initiative aims to bring together artists working with images and self-publishing. Fotobook DUMMIES Day explores these mediums as a curatorial basis for exhibitions, events, and artist talks.
The initiative revolves around the themes of “images,” “self-publishing,” and “community.” It has successfully organised three editions of the photobook fair, transforming alternative spaces such as a bar, a youth hostel, and an independent bookstore into temporary gathering places for the self-publishing community.
