The jenny-press is pleased to announce its latest publication At The Turn of the Centuries: The Influence of Early 20th Century Book Arts on Contemporary Artists' Books With essays by scholars Stephen Bury and Marcia Reed and artist Angela Lorenz Originally presentations at a 2007 conference of the same name, At the Turn of the Centuries is a permanent documentation of the presenters' ideas. The lecture and this publication also honor the late Tony Zwicker, an important advocate of artists' books. Stephen Bury considers the text engine as a generative device from Jonathan Swift to Oulipo. Marcia Reed discusses how certain formats, particularly boxes, and methodologies, such as an artist's documentation of their own work or experience, are recurring themes in the 20th century bookworks. Angela Lorenz discusses from the artist's point of view the incorporation of historic and unexpected sources into bookworks. In order to promote critical dialogue on artists' books, the jenny-press is pleased to offer this publication free of charge as a download from lulu.com. The work is also available in paperback for $20 plus shipping. Jae Jennifer Rossman Proprietor, the jenny-press & Assistant Director for Special Collections Robert B.
