The second edition of the annual exhibition dedicated to artists’ books in November 2023 at Meldkamer, Maastricht. This year, the focus was on exploring the multifaceted nature of a book and what it can potentially be. The exhibition showed the concept of a book as an object, a form of performance, installation, message, space, nourishment, bread, pause, work, teacher, vehicle, idea, and so much more.
