Good Neighbour

Good Neighbour (GN) is a research platform based in Amsterdam since 2017, run by Martin La Roche, Dongyoung Lee, and Valeria Marchesini. GN defines itself primarily as a community of readers who share a communal interest in books seen as performative tools. The name ‘Good Neighbour’ is inspired by Aby Warburg’s ‘Law of the Good Neighbour’, a continuous system of thematic and serendipitous arrangements between books in a library. GN doesn’t seek to build a library; it makes time for appreciating existing ones.

Made possible with the support of the Mondriaan Fonds.
