ARTIST AS PUBLISHER

- (New York : Center for Book Arts 2008) - large 8vo. - stiff paper wrappers - 32 pages - Order Nr. 103172 - Price: $ 20.00

Organized by Omar Lopez-Chahoud, Independent Curator, and held in New York from July 9 to September 13, 2008, this exhibition examines art publications produced by artists and collaboratives. The publications selected for the exhibitions each embody a spirit of collaboration and experimentation and a DIY ethos. Independent publication allows artists to bypass the gallery system, and to make art cheaply and distribute it on their own terms. The curator invited several groups to set up reading rooms throughout the Center where viewers could engage directly with their work. Digitally printed with color illustrations.
