RAiR#3 looks back with a historical overview, but also anticipates on all that lies ahead. During RAiR#3 an open forum with invitees will discuss the topic of the Rotterdam international residency policy.

Opening BookCase

Iris Hond @ Opening of BookCase

BookCase is a bookstore in Rotterdam for artist books, publications, editions, magazines * involving every possible mode of production and in the field of art, design, prose and poetry.* Which are published by the artist without a publisher.

Next to this we will present publications of small art book publishers driven by heart and empathy for aesthetically and well made books.

Book Case likes to be a centre and service for individual and institutional collectors, artists, book enthusiasts, the bibliographically curious and last but not least a place of inspiration for you and me. Therefore we are integrated in an open exhibition and project space, where exhibitions, workshops, lectures, film events and discussions are taking place as well.

Our aim is not only to be a bookstore where you can bring books to sell and find books to buy, but also to manifest the importance of a place with an independent view.
