Simon Morris

Simon Morris is a British artist and curator whose practice engages with books, reading, and the systems through which knowledge is organised and transmitted. His projects frequently take the form of publications, exhibitions, and institutional interventions that treat the book not as a container of information but as a site of artistic and social activity.

Bibliomania (1998–1999), co-curated with Helen Sacoor, invited artists, writers, and theorists to reveal the books that shaped their practices — producing a publication that operates simultaneously as exhibition catalogue, reading list, and collective self-portrait.

Publications gathered here document Morris's curatorial and artistic projects. Original period items.
