<HAUS  OF SWISS BOOKS>


curated by 00123
presented by Kuala Lumpur Art Book Fair
瑞士以其多样的自然景观、丰富的文化传统与独特的建筑风貌，长期以来不仅是书籍创作的重要灵感来源，也构成了众多艺术项目的核心主题。除了在设计、字体与排版等领域的独特实践，瑞士的艺术家与设计师也不断突破书籍的边界，善于通过实验性的叙事探索与结构性的编排方式，建构起内容、形式与阅读体验之间层层交织的关系。 在这一过程中，形式与内容并非各自独立，而是在持续的互动中彼此回应、相互塑造，使书籍不再只是信息的载体，而是成为一个可以被感知、思考与参与的空间。

HAUS OF SWISS BOOKS 聚焦瑞士艺术出版，汇集来自瑞士独立艺术出版社的书籍，包括 Boabooks、Ciao Press、Edition Fink、Everyedition、Edition Hors-Sujet 、 Edition Patrick Frey、Jungle Books、Kodoji Press 以及 St. Moritz。同时，展览还特别呈现由瑞士联邦文化办公室主办的 “瑞士最美的书” (2007-2024) 作品。Switzerland — with its diverse natural landscapes, rich cultural traditions, and architecture — has long served a both inspiration and subject for bookmaking and artistic exploration. 

Renowned for their distinctive approaches to design, typography, and layout, Swiss artists and designers often push the boundaries of the book as a medium. By experimenting with narrative, production, and editorial frameworks, they construct layered relationships between form, content, and the act of reading. This integrated approach reveals a dialectical relationship between content and form, positioning the book as a space where meaning emerges through their continual interplay. 

As part of the 2025 Kuala Lumpur Art Book Fair’s exhibition, HAUS OF SWISS BOOKS highlights the distinctive landscape of Swiss art publishing. The presentation brings together titles from independent Swiss publishing houses — Boabooks, Ciao Press, Edition Fink, Edition Hors-Sujet, Everyedition, Edition Patrick Frey, Jungle Books, Kodoji Press, and St. Moritz — offering a glimpse into their diverse editorial approaches and publishing practices. The exhibition also features selected works from “The Most Beautiful Swiss Books” (2007 - 2024), an annual award program organized by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture, celebrating excellence in book design and production.
