Art Books: A Beginner’s Guide is an introductory series for creatives who are interested in making their own books or are looking to publish their own projects.

This 10-episode guide examines publications as an ideal format for artistic presentation and documentation from conception to distribution.

We'd love to hear from you about the series, let us know what you think here.

This episode introduces the compelling possibility of publication as an art object. We explore how an artist book is uniquely different from other modes of display that rely on how space plays out differently on the page. We will describe the possible ways and limitations of channelling the book format for artistic projects and presentations, while addressing how traditional boundaries of what defines a publication can be pushed and expanded to better address the specifics of the artistic content.

The episode features a conversation with curators on their experiences with art books, as they reflect on the process and outcome of challenging a diverse group of artists to think about publications as an outlet for their practices.

Stay tuned every week!
