Hooray! At Page Not Found we celebrate 100 publications by the Estonian publisher Lugemik with a brand new exhibition!

The exhibition presents all the 100 titles published by Lugemik in 2010–2022. On the occasion of the show Lugemik publishes its 100th book – a catalogue consisting of one page from each title Lugemik has published so far. Every week an artist from the recent publications by Lugemik will transform the project space of Page Not Found. A program of book launches by the contributing artists takes place correspondingly.

The shapeshifting exhibition presents work of the artists:
Kristina Õllek, 2–8 December 2022

On 2 December we open the exhibition and kick off with the book launch of Kristina Õllek’s newest publication “Filter Feeders, Double Binds and Other Blooms”. On 14 January Sandra Nuut and Ott Kagovere of Dear Friend launch the “Dear Friend Catalogue”, and on 21 January we present a double book launch of Erika Hock’s “Functionality and Fiction” and “Female Fame”.
