PULP ATLAS
September 9, 2014
I’m pleased to be part of PULP ATLAS, an upcoming series of artist book exhibitions featuring the work of 12 artists experimenting with the book form. Each artist is producing an edition of 12 artist books or zines, allowing for 12 exhibitions to happen in different cities during the Fall of 2014.
From curator Christopher Kardambikis:
PULP ATLAS explores the contemporary book form as well as the cultural borders surrounding alternative exhibition spaces. Artist books and zines occupy a unique territory: inherently legible even while experimental, they are precious and disposable, able to be viewed in public but read as an incredibly personal experience. PULP ATLAS aims to explore the dynamics of the book form in an alternative viewing space.
The first exhibition will open on September 29 at the Philadelphia Free Library. Other participating venues in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, as well as Toronto, Canada, Ipswich, England and Edinburgh, Scotland will be announced as dates are secured.
The exhibiting artists are Morgan Cahn, Matt Coors, Edie Fake, Christopher Kardambikis, Mark Lander, J. Pascoe, Vanessa Roveto, Jim Rugg, Tim Schwartz, Mary Tremonte, Imin Yeh, and myself.
Fundraising is now in progress at Indiegogo, and more information is available on the project blog here.
