In an interesting exchange, I tried to explain why I had decided against purchasing a specific #artistsbook a few years ago. I ended my explanations with "It's difficult to write that down, because it's primarily based on a feeling. This can change. And I often question their justification anyway - i.e. when I compare myself to colleagues who (can) acquire according to guidelines. >>

Now it's finished, the new article in the #artistsbook blog!

It's about two impressive #artistsbooks by Miriam Cahn. About a scandal. And what #PopeFrancis and Anselm Kiefer have to do with it...

The Ukrainian #artistsbook "Über Worte und Wahrheit" ("About words and truth", 22 Ex.) mentioned in this article has now arrived - and it greatly enriches our collection on the #Ukrainewar. It was created before the war began, but the misery and brutality of #Russia.s war of aggression are already real in it.

Today I'm going to do a seminar session about collecting #artistsbooks for students of the Pädagogische Hochschule Steiermark (Graz). I am really looking forward to this. I myself studied #arthistory without ever having heard the term #artistsbook.

If you are sitting in the office and would like it differently, I recommend the #artistsbook "Office Complaints" of the wonderful Claudia de la Torre. It collects 100 Office Workers’ complaints. "The Office Smells”, "I have the worst chair"... 📕

A work has just arrived in our collection of #Corona #artistsbooks that reminds me of the #CombatPaperProject, e.g. 2 L.sel.I 1527, which consists of uniforms of veterans of the Iraq war. Now the artist John Gerard has transformed the clothes of the Cologne artists' books gallerist E. Broel, who died from COVID-19, into an #artistsbook, symbolically for all pandemic victims, together with a poem "The Summit" by A. Ostermeier: https://pirckheimer-gesellschaft. org/blog/the-summit

At the #SuperBooks fair (Haus der Kunst Munich) I met B. Kovacs, University College Professor @ University College of Teacher Education Styria. We are now planning a joint seminar session on the topic of #artistsbooks. How wonderful 🤩 ! I could complete a degree in #arthistory without hearing the term #artistsbook even once. May that change! 📖

Earlier this year I wrote a small 100 word story for @willbuckingham 'Chance Encounters' at Wigtown book festival, roll a dice, get a prompt, write a story, get given someone else's story in return.
Well I liked the story I wrote, and took a photo, before sealing it up for someone else to encounter. I was inspired to turn it into a little Artists book, 3 pages and a cover done so far.

Christmas vacation over 💪 Where do I start? I just realized that I haven't translated part of the leaflet that presents our #artistsbook collection after all. To introduce it, because I am #neuhier / #newhere, I had translated a small part of it every day over the holidays. It became a long 🧵: https://openbiblio.social/@artistsbooks/109541298361253491

Q: "#Photobooks?"
A: "Certainly. And very rare ones."
Q: "Politics?"
A: "As much as you like. Interested in a critical #artistsbook on Trump, whose first edition mysteriously disappeared upon delivery in the U.S.?"

About Time, a #letterpress printed #artistsbook inspired by Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time. Rovelli’s book is beautiful and mind blowing and this was my not completely serious way to try and make sense of it. Hoping to do more of this sort of thing in 2023…
