Salticidae Icius – A Research on Independent Art Spaces and Initiatives

The book Salticidae Icius––named after jumping spiders––considers how the similarly large and pervasive family of independent art spaces and initiatives operates through a variety of angles and approaches. The book consists of a meandering text by editor Diewertje Hehewerth, a writer and artist based in Amsterdam, which follows her travels to (Amsterdam), Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris and Rome, and contributions from spaces and initiatives who she came into contact with throughout her research.
