ARTBOOK @ SWISS INSTITUTE

Tue Sep 16 2014—Sun May 24 2015

ARTBOOK @ SWISS INSTITUTE is a new pop up bookstore in SoHo which debuts on Tuesday, September 16th from 5pm-8pm during the opening of Swiss Institute's Annual Design Series at 18 Wooster Street.

A new concept in bookselling, ARTBOOK @ SWISS INSTITUTE will be installed every two months with a new thematic focus, new choice of titles, and eclectic selection of publishers. Browsers and collectors will be treated to a library-quality display of new releases, classic titles, museum catalogues, out-of-print books, hard-to-find treasures, indie magazines, and rare editions. Each store is conceived in collaboration between ARTBOOK's Skuta Helgason and the Swiss Institute's Simon Castets with input from represented curators and artists.

ARTBOOK @ SWISS INSTITUTE opens to the public on Tuesday, September 16th and Friday, September 19th from 5pm-8pm. In step with architect Andreas Angelidakis' curatorial homage to Eugène Ionesco's play "The Chairs," the store brings together an international selection of furniture design books with a focus on chair design.

The bookstore will be open to the public during Swiss Institute's regular gallery hours, events and on special public shopping days.  For an up-to-date calendar of ARTBOOK @ SWISS INSTITUTE opening dates and times, please click here.
