The papers in this session will explore three distinctly different artist’s book formats. The first speaker will discuss the contemporary practices and publishing and distribution models of artist’s books as post-democratic multiples from the mid-1990s to the present. The second speaker will share personal insights about the artist’s journey through the process of editioning a fine press book. What processes, methods, jigs and other aids are required to produce consistent results. The third speaker will introduce the concept of the altered book/book object, followed by a discussion and presentation of her own altered books.
