MABB – Malmö Artist’s Book Biennial is a Swedish and International exhibition and selling platform for art works that are inspired by the structural and conceptual properties of the book form.
MABB was arranged for the first time 2018, and invited both national and international artists, publishers, booksellers and organizations to participate in the first International fair for artists’ books in Sweden – an art genre that is attracting more and more attention.
MABB2020 was ment to take place 8–10 May 2020, with the public fair at Victoria-teatern on Friday and Saturday. Due to the coronavirus pandemic we are forced to postpone next MABB and make MABB2022 6–8 May 2022. The seminars this year had a special interest in the libraries task of collecting, preserving and providing artist’s books.
