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 will discuss how serial publication projects establish their subject matter, content, and themes, as well as the ways a series can position itself and state its intent. We consider multiplicity – the idea of the publication as a series or oeuvre, with volumes and instalments across a timeframe.

The episode will include a conversation with artists and design collaborators on the development of a book series. The conversation will focus on developing editorial direction, and how one might go about writing, developing, and curating their publication’s editions.

Stay tuned every week!
