Edition 2019

TEMPLE ARLES BOOKS

During the opening week, Temple and Les Rencontres d’Arles present Temple Arles Books. Co-founded in 2013 by independent curators and designers Anna Planas and Pierre Hourquet, Temple is an independent distribution platform. During its first edition, Temple Arles Books will settle in the old Mistral school, bringing a new scenography to the space. An interdisciplinary program revolving around editorial practices will be conducted in different stages and will reflect the diversity of contemporary creation. In the courtyard, the Book Market will gather about sixty publishers and initiatives around book, fanzine and magazine publishing. The classrooms will host a project by artist Erik van der Weijde, an invitation to Dutch magazine McGuffin, The Life of Things. A cycle of conferences, performances and professional meetings will enrich this daily program.
