Eastside Projects are hosting a BOOK SHOW this 3rd July-4th Sept:
An exhibition of artworks, objects and structures that address the physical form of the book, including work by Simon Starling, Nina Beier and Marie Lund, and Radim Peško.
The starting point for the exhibition is Ulises Carrión’s provocative series of aphorisms The New Art of Making Books, 1975. Carrión was the founder of Other Books and So in Amsterdam, a gallery and bookstore that during its short life (1975–1979) became the first major centre for the flourishing international artist-led publishing scene.
A new publication will accompany the exhibition. BOOK BOOK will include, ‘a facsimile reprint of Ulises Carrión’s ‘The New Art of Making Books’ as it originally appeared in the journal Kontexts; an illustrated text by James Langdon and additional works by Melissa Dubbin and Aaron Davidson, Tauba Auerbach, Kelly Large, Åbäke and others’.
