Recorded on Friday, September 16, 2016 at the Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference, held at MoMA PS1, New York City, as part of Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair.
This panel session explores the relationship between publishing and curating, where artists’ books and printed matter are considered as portable exhibitions in their own right. The book will also be considered as an axis of innumerable relationships that are concretized through the publication and that are also informed by or inform curatorial practice and exhibitions of artists works in physical space. The tensions between books and exhibitions will be discussed as will issues of materiality, scale, distribution and audience. Panelists include Sadia Shirazi (moderator), Francesc Ruiz Abad, Alexis Bhagat, and Sharmini Pereira. Organized and introduced by Lindsey Reynolds.
