About This Event

The Sculpture Research Library at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds will host an event on 19th August 2026. The event will focus on reading and handling artists' books in the library. The price of attendance is not specified and can be checked on the library's website.

Join our Librarians for an informal session devoted to reading and careful handling of artists’ books. The Sculpture Research Library on the first floor of Henry Moore Institute has a growing collection of bookworks. You’re invited to slow the pace and engage with the book as a material object, considering how its physical presence relates to its meaning. We’ll explore the diverse ways sculptors extend their practice through making books. Our collection includes land and environmental works documenting ephemeral interventions; tactile works that evoke mass, void and texture; as well as books that unfold, expand, or incorporate pop‑up structures to occupy space.

Description supplied by the event organiser.
