Temporary Bookshop XI
Radical Reversibility
16 September – 3 October 2021

Looiersgracht 60 is excited to announce that the exhibition ‘From Seeing to Acting’ will be accompanied by Temporary Bookshop XI. Organised in collaboration with the art collective Radical Reversibility, the group exhibition includes works by thirteen renowned artists from all over the world which explore the reciprocity of seeing and acting: how are the seer, the seen, and the act of seeing entangled?

The bookshop has been organised by Looiersgracht 60 with a view to providing a literary context for those who wish to delve deeper into the exhibition’s key themes. Featured is a handpicked selection of titles, including publications on the relationship between human perception, the environment, and the visual arts. Also available are a number of books written and created by several of the artists who are participating in the exhibition.
