Temporary Bookshop II
4 November – 4 December 2016

Within Looiersgracht 60, a temporary bookshop exists which is curated differently for each exhibition. This time, Amie Dicke has been invited and has carefully selected 14 of her favourite books. Made specifically for the exhibition ‘Sucking Stones’, Amie Dicke has intervened with the covers of the selected books, creating wonderful limited-edition artworks that are available for purchase.
