BOOK—SPACE places the table at the heart of its events, referencing the architecture of traditional reading rooms. The horizontal surface—of the library, studio, office, or dining room—holds the quiet proximities of books, notes and objects, allowing for chance encounters and layered ways of thinking.
Book Gathering invites participants into an intimate act of shared generosity. Guided by touch and intuition, guests are invited to choose a book and, in doing so, form unseen connections between words, materials and readers.
Rooted in the spirit of temporary libraries and ritual exchanges, Book Gathering draws focus to the materiality of books, the gestures of giving and the slow unfolding of shared curiosity.
