Catalog for "Artists' Books as (Sub)culture," an exhibition at the Center for Book Arts on view January 15-March 28, 2009. Organized by Natalie Campbell. CBA has two copies.
This exhibition takes an in-depth look at the way artist-funded and artist-run organizations have combined a focus on book arts with a unique social mission. Groups featured in this exhibition will include Temporary Services (Chicago), Women's Studio Workshop (Rosendale, NY), the Woman's Building (Los Angeles), and others that publish their own artist books as an integral part of the economic/political machinery of a workspace.
