Books and Projects

Hand Bound is a critical engagement with artists’ publications through researching, writing and making – it analyses contemporary work in this field while also acting as part of that work. The goal of the book is to find and position artists who are currently producing publication artworks in Canada, and to provide critical writing on these works so as to illuminate the relationships between them, the experiences of their development and reception, and their relevance as a medium, device, and way of making. It’s also to imagine and inspire what opportunities, ideas, collaborations, communities, and possibilities could grow out of artists’ publications – what they provide to us now, and what they could provide to us in the future.
