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.
