a bookwork in many places traces Mexican-born Ulises Carrión's engagement with artist networks in Southern California from the 1970s through the 1990s, bringing together artist books, correspondence, video, and ephemera. Centering on Carrión's Amsterdam artist-run space Other Books and So and his journal Ephemera, the exhibition examines how artists, librarians, and alternative spaces collectively reimagined systems of exchange through printed matter. Carrión's concept of the "bookwork" — the book as cultural object rather than container of text, each page an autonomous element — is traced through connections with figures including Judith Hoffberg, Suzanne Lacy, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, extending his influence into the present through an accompanying archival display organized by Ulises Books.
