BASE – An Exhibition Space for a Single Book – Mark Cockram [Bookish Talk #17]
Earlier this year, Mark Cockram created an unusual exhibition space for books at his studio that is only 76x34x18.5 cm in size. Since that moment he has had several exhibitions there. And that’s exactly what we are going to discuss during this Bookish Talk!
