Taipei Art Book Fair 2023
～ ～ ～ \ ～ 一直滑下去 N E V E R G I V E U P ～ / ～ ～ ～
This year’s theme draws inspiration from the rise of short-form videos that relentlessly capture our attention.
As our curiosity inflates and our fingers move like they're under a spell,
we find ourselves trapped in the linear paradise of the algorithmic scroll.
TPABF 2023 introduced “滑”（means "SCROLL”） as a conceptual action weaving through media and dimensions.
Under the title “ NEVER GIVE UP ", " Just Keep Scrolling ", this edition broke the boundaries of form
— letting participants flow freely through images, text, design, and exhibitions.
Over 400 exhibitors participated, including 80 international publishers, with nearly half joining TPABF for the first time.
Together, we embraced this era of infinite scroll—NEVER GIVE UP!
＼＼ TPABF 2023 Catalog ／／
This book includes the full exhibitor map, a list of all 414 booths, and 48 submissions from participating artists and collectives.
Each submission was printed using two-color riso printing selected by the artists themselves—
resulting in a vivid, fast-paced visual anthology.
It also features introductions to five TPABF Award winners, alongside exclusive chat transcripts between the TPABF team and the artists,
revealing how their ideas took shape through scrolling and experimentation.
Additional sections include curated highlights from the ZINE WALL corridor, behind-the-scenes snapshots, and full Team Credits.
This is a complete archival volume capturing the creative energy and independent publishing spirit of TPABF 2023.
In a time of constant motion and transformation,
TPABF continues to encourage fearless creativity and collective forward momentum.
Open this year’s TPABF Catalog—
and scroll into the festival.
Join the ride through this shared adventure of publishing and imagination！
