Book Lab 2: Stickers as a starting point for an edition

A selection from the Cardinal Collection Archives by Drope2020

For the Second iteration of Book Lab, Cardinal Collection Gallery has invited DROPE2020 to create a window display exhibition, exploring the archive to reflect on how stickers can define the creation of a book in different ways.

Through a range of 20 books, the display presents a variety of concepts from a mainstream sticker album style to a more artistic approach on how to create a storyline, as well as a simple sticker subject.

In this exhibition, DROPE2020 reinforces the concept of the sticker as an art form in and of itself and connects the sticker to the world of the artists' book in resonance with the previous Book Lab exhibition at Cardinal Collection.

DROPE2020 is the alter ego behind a project that explores alternative mapping of the City of Lisbon, where the sticker is the object to read the relationship between the living agents and the public space. DROPE2020 recently launched an artists' book about a personal archive of stickers.
