Chance Operations: Conceptual Art and the Artist’s Book (SOLD OUT)
About
Chance Operations: Conceptual Art and the Artist’s BookSpeaker: Cathy Leahy, Senior Curator, Prints & Drawings
From the 1960s, the book became popular with conceptual artists who sought to redefine the nature of art. Low cost printed items could be easily circulated to circumvent the commercial art system while facilitating the exploration of language and ideas central to conceptual art. Many conceptual artists also explored systems and seriality; and the book’s format, with its multiple pages and sequencing of content, was ideally suited to these investigations.
