Temporary Bookshop X
7 July – 1 September 2019

Looiersgracht 60 is pleased to announce that the exhibition 'Decoders-Recorders' will be accompanied by our Temporary Bookshop X. The exhibition, in collaboration with De Appel, presents works by New York based Steffani Jemison and Hong Kong based Samson Young. Each artist investigates distinct forms of notation, gesture, and alternative languages to articulate suppressed social histories and contemporary predicaments.

Looiersgracht 60’s bookshop presents a collection of relevant titles in conjunction with each major exhibition. For those who wish to further explore the exhibition’s key concerns, a thoughtful selection of titles will be available and are listed below.
