Libraryman
A Selection from a Decade

Exhibition

Curator, editor and designer for publishing house Libraryman’s exhibition A Selection from a Decade at ReadingRoom in Melbourne, Australia. Exhibition on view 20 October–17 November 2018.

Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of publishing house Libraryman, Perimeter Books and ReadingRoom co-present the exhibition Libraryman: A Selection from a Decade in celebration of one of the most innovative contemporary photobook publishers.

Founded in 2008 by Tony Cederteg, Libraryman is revered for its emphasis on high production values and an outstanding balance between form and content, placing the imprint as a leader in the new wave of photobook publishing.

Libraryman: A Selection from a Decade traces the imprint’s history and presents a range of key editions and prints from longtime Libraryman collaborators, including Viviane Sassen, Gerry Johansson, Osamu Yokonami, Takashi Homma, Landon Metz, Ron Jude, Ola Rindal, Gunnar Smoliansky, Vincent Ferrané and François Halard.

The exhibition brings together works that are nuanced, subtle, quiet – even eschewing hints of linear narrative. Many of the works included in the exhibition – which span limited edition prints, special edition books and more – are rare and have not been exhibited before.
