I met Christopher Green from the Library of Independent Exchange the other week, and skipped over to see Viewing Room, their latest show at Plymouth College of Art & Design on its penultimate day. And what a fine show it was too. They had all sorts in there and it was beautifully displayed. You could get your hands on enough of it to feel satisfied, despite the fact that quite a lot was under glass. I saw the most recent edition of Making Do (gorgeous and inspiring to see) and my own In Absentia nestled in amongst good stuff. Always very gratifying. On the walls were various artists favourite books from their own personal collections, including big boys like Ed Ruscha, Jem Southam and Alec Finlay. Let's hope we see some more of L.I.E very, very soon.
