Present/Future: Artists’ books in the Age of Digital Communication
February 6, 2015
6:30 – 8:00 pm
The discussion will take plaice at Einstein Auditorium; NYU Barney Building, 34 Stuyvesant Street, NYC
https://printedmatter.org/events/305
This roundtable discussion will examine the present and future outlook of the contemporary artists’ book landscape, highlighting the diverse approach of several independent publishers and placing this activity in a broader-than-the-art-world context. Participants will include Paul Chan (Badlands Unlimited), Molly Kleiman (Triple Canopy), Lele Saveri (8 Ball Zine) Ben Davis (Artnet), Miriam Katzeff (Primary Information) will be moderated by David Senior (MoMA Library).
In the wake of the “death of the book” pronouncement and the ongoing crisis in the commercial publishing industry, we have witnessed a tremendous resurgence in artists’ book publishing. In the context of this increased activity across both print and digital platforms, panelists will offer their perspective on new models and strategies related to the production and distribution of artists’ material, while exploring the economic, social and political forces that inherently affect and shape cultural production.
Time: 02/12/2015, 5:30 PM—7:00 PM
Location: Hilton New York, 3rd Floor, Petit Trianon

Interesting TED feature on manually altered books:
http://ideas.ted.com/gallery-books-as-youve-never-seen-them-before
"To create new art, Brian Dettmer trashes old books. The painter-turned-sculptor (TED Talk: Old books reborn as art) takes outdated reference materials such as textbooks and encyclopedias, seals them with varnish, then carves away at their pages with an X-Acto knife. Dettmer knifes through books swiftly from cover to cover to reveal images that explore our relationship to information. He adds no color or text; it’s all what he calls “a subtractive sculptural process.” Take a look at some of the amazing results."

FEATURED EXHIBITION
APPROXIMATE EXACTITUDE: THE DIAGRAM AND THE BOOK
Reception: Thursday, March 19, Emporium Gallery Entry Showcase, 6pm-9pm

On some level throughout history, books have represented authority, knowledge and information. We have trusted and disputed them for centuries. Now, with changes in technology and with the speed and amount of information we receive everyday, our relationship with the book is changing. Perhaps we’re looking to digest our information from books faster now. No matter what the book, many of us tend flip to the photos, illustrations or diagrams, to see if we can understand the text quicker or easier. Sometimes the diagrams augment the text and our understanding of its concepts, sometimes diagrams cannot be understood without the text and vise-versa. Other times the diagrams add very little to the text and instead obfuscate the communication of the book’s ideas. Whichever way the diagram works with the text, it almost always draws us in with its promise of knowledge and its dry beauty. The books in this show make use of, celebrate, occasionally spoof and often times elevate the significance of the diagram as an element of the book.

Marcel Duchamp, “Readymade Malheureux” (Unhappy Readymade) (1919) (detail) (photo by the author for Hyperallergic)
Must a book review take the form of prose — or can it be pure image? For this first art-themed issue of the Book Review, five pathbreaking contemporary artists create visual works of literary criticism, paying homage to the inspiration they’ve found in fiction, philosophy and poetry. JUN. 25, 2015
