Unter dem Motto – One Day Self Publishing Fair, the first edition of an annual book fair hosted by Motto Berlin and Chert Gallery. On Saturday, September 5th 2009, 60 publishers from 18 countries (selected by Nieves, Rollo Press and Motto) presented an eclectic overview of contemporary autonomous publishing, from home-printed zines to publications by renowned institutions.

Unter dem Motto was organized in parallel to the presentation of the newly acquired exhibition Kiosk – Modes of multiplication at Staatliche Kunstbibliothek Berlin, as well as the art book fair Miss Read, organized by KW Institute for Contemporary Art, September 4th-6th.

Currently the 2010 edition of the fair is being planned.
