“This book explores nearly four decades of Boekie Woekie, Amsterdam’s legendary artist-run bookshop and gallery. Founded in 1986 by a group of artists, Boekie Woekie has since evolved into a self-sustained hub for artists’ books and a living artwork in its own right. With contributions by Maike Aden, Christa-Maria Lerm Hayes, and Anne Thurmann-Jajes, the book reflects on Boekie Woekie’s roots in the Fluxus tradition, its radical publishing ethos, and its ongoing challenge to art world conventions. It includes archival material, excerpts from Jan Voss’s diary, an exhibition checklist, and documentation of the group’s subversive printing practices and international collaborations.”
Published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Center for Book Arts in NYC, designed by Roger Willems and Jordi de Vetten.
