Collaborative Works

Multiple Voices

These four artists' books are unique because each contains distinct bounded works by individuals. While collaborative projects often synthesize ideas or methods, the individual works were kept whole and connected to the larger work through the book's form. While three of the works use the same printing techniques and materials, The Ladies Printing Bee, retained the materials and methods used by each individual artist.

If you're interested in the exhibit curated by Lucy Lippard or the role of artists' books in modern art, stop in for: Lisa Le Feuvre, Books and Sculpture (Leeds: Henry Moore Institute, 2013). Available onsite.

All-for-One

These four works were generated by a group of individuals working together to support a single project. While other artists' books in this exhibit may include collaborators, these works notably recognized their collaborators.

If you'd like to see more collaborations of this style, come in and look at our nine issues of, Hey Lady, curated by Regina Schilling. Part of our broader Books Arts collection, this zine collects and publishes original artwork portraying one woman. Available onsite; if you can't stop in check out the artist's website.
