1. RADOSLAW NOWAKOWSKI  One of the members of the Liberature Movement. Artist, writer and musician.  He produces hand-made books. Often in limited edition and slightly different from one another due to the way they are put together with Japanese stab binding. His books are simplistic in design, yet experimental in layouts and typography inside.  Some of his books are turned into large installations exploring forms book can take.  Set up in industrial or museum spaces.  Nor blin - Libro 2N (liberatorium.com)  [Accessed 20.01.21].

They take on many forms, Sometimes quite unconventional.        HASA RAPASA (liberatorium.com)  [Accessed 20.01.21]      Cztery rzeczy o wodzie (liberatorium.com)  [Accessed 20.01.21] 2.
