When books disobey, they become experience...
The interactive exhibition BOOKMORPHS: Artists’ Books from Greece & the UK brings together a diverse selection of artists’ books, book works, book-art objects, limited and multiple editions, ephemera, and journals by 44 visual artists, curators, publishers, and theorists from both Greece and the UK. It marks the first comprehensive presentation in London of contemporary artists’ books by Greek and British visual artists in dialogue.
BOOKMORPHS borrows its title from a term used by art writer Michael Hampton and aims to foster dialogue and exchange between Greek and British artists.
Showcasing a wide range of techniques and media – painting, printmaking, drawing, writing, poetry, digital printing, cutting, bookbinding, sculpture, sound, and photography – the exhibition highlights the rich materiality and experimental nature of the book as an artistic form.
What happens when a book’s legibility is disrupted? BOOKMORPHS invites audiences to engage with books through unconventional forms of ‘reading’: holding, touching, activating. Here, books transform into vehicles of unique, interactive experiences, allowing visitors to explore the anatomy of the book and connect more intimately with its content.
In re-examining the meaning and history of the codex, these works address a range of social, political, cultural, ecological, and gender issues. Personal narratives and subversive themes are reimagined in the artists’ book format, expanding the ways books can be created, read, and understood as cultural artefacts.
The various objects presented in BOOKMORPHS continue to abide by typical bibliographic references, even though an artist’s book presents a disruption to conventional literary structures. In an age of screen reading and doom-scrolling, this exhibition seeks to preserve a tactile connection with the book – as text, as layered object, and as interactive form.
