8 Books from Asia curated by Steidl & DECK

The “Steidl Book Award Asia,” a dummy-book award established spring of last year, came into being on the occasion of the “1001 Steidl Books” exhibition in Singapore — held at the photography-focused independent art space, DECK. This autumn, Steidl plans to publish “8 Books from Asia,” featuring the collections of eight artists — selected from a pool of dummy books collected from all across Asia. For this year’s Tokyo Art Book Fair, DECK co-founder and director Gwen Lee, art director Theseus Chan (who also took part in editing), as well as the award-winning artists will be making the journey here to Japan. At our venue not only will one find a special exhibition, but we will also be featuring a talk-event among winners of both the Steidl Book Award Asia and the Steidl Book Award Japan. The eight award-winning collections will also be on sale preceding their official Japanese domestic release.
