“Bring your own book set up a publishing station at W139, Amsterdam. With the intention to publish everyone. Visitors were invited to fill out/in/up a template, which was then printed and distributed on the spot.
This publication contains all printed works that were taken down from the walls of W139 after the exhibition in September 2023.”
“'bring your own book' is a collective that started as a student initiative at the Gerrit Rietveld academie in 2021. Since then we have been working on an interdisciplinary programme around self-publishing, activated through events, lectures, workshops and book fairs.
From posters to books to zines and cards, some serious, some silly, some hard-covered, some soft, and some surprisingly furry; we have created a fair for everyone engaged in diy, self-publishing to show or sell their work.”
‘Bring Your Own Book’ consists of: Jordi de Vetten, Sophia Xu, Nelli Molfenter, Susu Lee, and Augustinas Milkus; many printed works are reproduced here in b/w, with an introduction by Klara Debeljak.
