Materiality and the Artist’s Book
Last year, I worked with my colleagues to begin reimagining the British Library’s collection and display of artists’ books from a more global perspective. The current exhibit—which you can see before 18 August—includes books by artists from North Africa, the Middle East and China, as well as the UK, Europe and North America.
