One Thousand Books 2013
Independent Art Book Fair with a Nordic Focus
Fri-Sun May 24 - 26, 2013 at Carlsberg Copenhagen

The first edition of the One Thousand Books bookfair took place May 24 - 26, 2013 inside the supermarket Rema 1000 at the Carlsberg grounds in Copenhagen. We had a great turn-out of about 800 really interested guests and some good press coverage. In the weeks up to the event, all receipts at Rema 1000 had poems by Tomas Lagermand Lundme on them.

More than 25 independent and micro publishers from all of Northern Europe meet in a supermarket in Copenhagen to sell books, meet their audience IRL and to share ideas and strategies with each other.

The isles of the supermarket act as a visual and conceptual backdrop as the art books are sold alongside everyday groceries to bibliophiles and the unexpecting shopper alike.

The goal is to elevate the level, number and quality of art books coming from the Nordic countries by hosting an event where the players in the field can meet, connect and share ideas and perspectives on current issues in the frame of publishing.
