藝術書籍靈感展覽
Common Things推出《Books as Objects, Books as Memory》
Common Things 是位於曼哈頓東村、一間設計感十足的精品店暨策展平台，發布展覽《Books as Objects, Books as Memory》。此展覽將藝術家書籍，定位為承載意義的活躍場域，探索物質形態本身，如何能發聲、見證，並保存記憶。
《Books as Objects, Books as Memory》展覽，以 Rhea Karam 兩本由 Small Editions 出版的藝術家書籍為核心，這兩件作品，源自她家族於 1982 年因黎巴嫩戰事而流離失所的經歷。其中一件作品，配以一個混凝土書套，其物理上的厚重感，直接映照出歷史的沉重。環繞 Karam 這件作品，是一系列經策展精選的書籍，圍繞家園與渴望、失去與尋回、歸屬與流放等反覆出現的主題而串連一起。
《Books as Objects, Books as Memory》展覽，於 Common Things 一個私密的店面空間內展開，此空間由敘事意圖所塑造，創辦人 Komal Kehar，一直以來均將零售，定位為一種策展實踐。
英文原文
Common Things, a design-forward boutique and curatorial platform in Manhattan's East Village, has presented Books as Objects, Books as Memory. This exhibition positions artist books as active sites of meaning and explores how material form itself can speak, bear witness, and preserve memory.
The Books as Objects, Books as Memory exhibition centers on two artist books by Rhea Karam, published by Small Editions, which emerged from her family's experience of wartime displacement from Lebanon in 1982. One work features a concrete slipcase whose physical density directly mirrors the weight of history. Surrounding Karam's work is a curated selection of books united by recurring themes of home and longing, loss and retrieval, belonging and exile.
The Books as Objects, Books as Memory exhibition unfolds within Common Things' intimate storefront, a space shaped by narrative intention where founder Komal Kehar has long positioned retail as a curatorial practice.
