“Never Judge...?” will be a group exhibition taking place in December at the Stolenspace Gallery on Brick Lane, London. I am truly excited by this exhibition. The gallery has collaborated with Penguin books to present this celebration of book cover design, the title taken from the familiar phrase “Never judge a book by the cover.”
The exhibition will highlight the affect new technology, such as the iPad, could have upon books and the associated design. A variety of artists will be invited to produce their own book cover through any medium and for a book of their choice, as long as it is of the same dimensions as a Penguin book.
The concept for “Never Judge...?” is amazing. I love the idea of fighting against increasingly innovative technology for the traditional paperback, and it will be interesting to see how the selected artists will choose to voice their opinion. It’s also a reminder of how easily we sometimes dismiss book covers as a source of design. I honestly cannot wait for this exhibition to begin.
