NL prominent aanwezig op 18th Beijing International Book Fair

The Netherlands will be the guest of honour this summer at the 18th Beijing International Book Fair. The Dutch exhibit, which covers an area of 1500 m2, is called ‘Open Landscape – Open Book’.

In addition to the Dutch Foundation for Literature, which is taking along 21 authors to internationally promote, 16 Dutch publishers will be present, and 8 exhibitions illustrating the full range of Dutch books. These include exhibitions on Vincent van Gogh and his life in letters, 12 Dutch illustrators, the Sinologist Robert van Gulik, and literature in comic strip form by such artists as Joost Swarte and Peter Pontiac. Dick Bruna is presenting the ‘Year of the Rabbit’ with Nijntje (‘Miffy’ in the English and Chinese translations) and there will be a selection of the best, as well as best-designed, Dutch books on art, architecture and design. All of these sections, along with an auditorium area, a Chinese bookshop and an information desk, will be accommodated in a single, open landscape. A landscape that creates an open area between the high stands that surround it, and remains low, like the Low Lands.
