An exhibition on BOOK SPINES

By Aslak Gurholt (NO) & Fraser Muggeridge (UK)

The spine is the reader’s first encounter with a book when displayed on a booshelf, usually with not much effort or imagination going into the design, using the standard sequence of author, title and publisher from top to bottom. This exhibition focuses on books that have considered the spine as part of the overall cover design or concept. Whether it’s the type of content, or how it is spatially arranged or bound together, these spines are the backbone to every book.
