Taipei, Feb. 9 (CNA) The 2019 Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) will be held Feb. 12-17 at the Taipei World Trade Center, featuring the theme of “Time for Reading.”

Germany, the guest of honor this year, hopes to draw attention by showcasing more than 400 publications and a wide-ranging cultural program, as well as socio-political and book trade themes.

According to the organizer, the Taipei Book Fair Foundation (TBFF), the German stand draws on elements of the Bauhaus, marking the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus in 2019, a legendary German design school operational from 1919 to 1933.

Visitors will have the chance to slip into costumes from Oskar Schlemmer’s “Triadisches Ballett” for selfies, said TBFF.    [FULL  STORY]
