A BO(E)OKS INDEX OF MASTER PAGES

BOEKS is a platform for showing books on the Bijloke site in Ghent. In turns, a book, its maker and publisher take center stage. Afterwards, remains stick around on walls, ceilings and floors. Along the way a BOEKS collection comes into being.

BOEKS celebrates printed matter, thick and thin, young and old, unique and serial, legible and illegible. Above all, BOEKS loves and highlights precisely those books that ask for it, because they are good, still unknown or fed up with the stacks or boxes they are confined to. BOEKS collaborates, contextualizes, supports and produces. The platform shows text, visual art and graphic design.

BOEKS is housed in the 15th-century convent corridor connecting the Kunstenbibliotheek with the STAM. BOEKS is een initiative of KASK & Conservatorium, in collaboration with Kunstenbibliotheek & Atelier Grafisch Ontwerp.

As a closing of the TURN, TURN TURN BOEKS program 2022-2023, we present you ‘A BO(E)OKS INDEX OF MASTER PAGES’; a limited edition publication brought to you by Atelier Grafisch Ontwerp and their master students graphic design, printmaking and illustration.

The book revisits an idea originally conceived in 2016 by alumni Hermine Cooreman, Amina Saâdi, and Watcharita Aroon and consists of selected excerpts from the students favorite books, which they modified with their own additions. Notably, each copy of the book is unique, as the sequence of pages has been altered during the printing process. The book also includes a series of riso prints made in collaboration with Topo Copy. The book was launched during Graduation 2023 at The Moving Library shop.

With thanks to: Liene Aerts, Sara Plantefève-Castryck, Suzy Castermans, Jonas Nachtergaele (TOPOCOPY), all the graphic design, illustration and graphic arts studios, mentors & our guests (here & elsewhere) in 2022/2023; Jan Op De Beeck, James Hoff, Alexandru Balgiu, Mindy Seu, Linda Van Deursen, Jelena Van Overbeek, Divided Publishing, Will Holder & to all our students.
