Isolde Venrooy & Limestone Books
·L·e·a·k·y··W·a·l·k·s· is a book of Isolde’s past walks – walks with friends, co-authors, and strangers – that can accompany future walks. Walks are an essential component of her life and artistic practice. She walks to connect, disconnect and, also, to share. The slowness of walking is a vital ingredient to shift how we encounter the familiar; with this book, she invites you to walk alongside her and sense the complexities of our surroundings, to connect presence to the present, and to initiate conversations on our position in the spaces we provisionally inhabit.
The graphic design of ·L·e·a·k·y··W·a·l·k·s· is by Peter van den Hoogen of COUP Amsterdam (coup.nl); Erik Benjamins contributed to the book with writings; Roy Voragen wrote the preface; the publication is offset printed by Zwaan Lenoir; the lithography is by Marco Kokkelkoren; and the book’s binding is by Aiga.
On Saturday 25 November at 14.30 we start with a performative walk ·L·e·a·k·y··W·a·l·k· by Isolde Venrooy. And when we have returned to Limestone Books, Isolde Venrooy, Peter van den Hoogen and Erik Benjamins (via video link) will share their thoughts on the book, Isolde’s artistic practice, the book’s design and writings in conversation with Roy Voragen.
During the launch at Limestone Books, ·L·e·a·k·y··W·a·l·k·s· will be sold at a discounted price of 20€ (instead of the regular 24€).
The book launch is a collaboration between Limestone Books and crumbs (Isolde Venrooy & Roy Voragen).
