Course content

In ‘paper events’, we are introduced to a variety of historical and current aspects of the ‘artist’s book’, as well as with related media, including artists’ journals and artists’ pages. To become familiar with this ‘hidden art history’, we will be addressing several publications from the last three decades, examining the manner in which the artist conceptualised and realised the ‘printed matter’ in question. The creative and critical way in which visual artists have considered the medium of books, pages and magazines mould potentially offer insight and inspiration for the current practice of design.
