Boekie Woekie - A narrow shop interior filled with books, booklets, and racks of postcards and zines, with framed artworks on the walls and a service counter to the right. A chandelier hangs near a windowed display at the back, giving the space a small gallery-like atmosphere.

Boekie Woekie, books by artists, began paying rent for a tiny space in downtown Amsterdam on January 1st, 1986. It was then seen by its 6 founders as a shop for their own publications. After the first 5 years and some reshuffling of the group and with 3 of the founders left, Boekie Woekie began its second phase in a quite much bigger shop space around the corner and with a renewed concept resulting from the gained experience: the new shop opened for publications by others. In 2024 Boekie Woekie moved to its present address at the Geldersekade in Amsterdam. The 3D reconstructed space in front of you represents the longest residence (the second phase) of Boekie Woekie.
