BOOOOOKS is a space in Antwerp dedicated to exploring contemporaneity through the showcase of independent publishing. We stock a focused selection of works from independent publishers and artists working internationally and whose creations are not found in the usual distribution circuits, alongside which we present an occasional programme of exhibitions, events, launches, talks, etc. The practices and works presented adopt formats at the crossroads of many fields: art, design, books, editions, magazines, multiples, novels, essays, posters...
The guiding principle is the book: as a material object resulting from reflections on both content and form; as an idea and symbol of the human necessity to tell stories.
Our first space, at Sint-Vincentiusstraat 24, presented a year-long programme, in which each season a leading independent publisher working in the contemporary cultural field was invited to present a cross-section of their work. Its interior design consisted of a support/display structure by architect Piet Crevits and furniture by artist Perry Roberts.
