Published: April 12, 2026; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Pierogi Gallery, in partnership with Monira Foundation and Mana Contemporary, presents OPEN BOOK (S): Observations

Books disseminate ideas to some of the largest audiences in the world, empowering makers of all disciplines to share ideas and give strength to communities far and wide. Through the Open Book program, the exhibition highlights makers from around the world to present unique works and ideas. OPEN BOOK (S) focuses on highlighting artist book makers who utilize the book to bring ideas to life through traditional and non-traditional book forms, as well as artists whose work can be viewed through the approach of an open book and displayed using different media and formats.
