Press & Release

Curator: Maddy Rosenberg

Gallery Design: Curious Space

An exhibition of boundary-breaking bookwork within a stunning, specially designed space. The exhibition features the work of notable contemporary artists from across the world who approach the book as an art form. For some of these artists, the material and sensory nature of the book is primary; for others, the image and the text carry equal weight. As a whole, the work in this exhibition embodies a fresh, experimental and daring approach to the wide ranging field of artist’s books, and also reveals the surprising and imaginative ways in which artists utilise technologies, old and new, in the process of realising their vision. Curated by Maddy Rosenberg, the director of New York’s CENTRAL BOOKING art space, the work will be brought together within a theatrical display created by Brighton based exhibition designers Curious Space. Visitors will experience a dramatic re-invention of the gallery as a place in which they can encounter the artist’s book in a direct and imaginative way.

Exhibitors include: Book Art Museum (Lodz, Poland), Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine, Tina Flau, Art Hazelwood, Emma Hill Fine Art, Valerie Huhn, Kahn + Selesnick, Eunkang Koh, Liberature (Katarzyna Bazarnik and Zenon Fajfer), Despo Magoni, Max Marek, Heidi Neilson, Geraldine Ondrizek, Marianne R. Petit, Maddy Rosenberg, Susan Rostow, Buzz Spector, Sarah Stengle and Mary Ting
