RUKSSIAN artists' books

Bodman, Sarah L.; Pogarsky, Mikhail; Vlasov, Vasily; Lukin, Viktor

Abstract

Curated by Sarah Bodman, Mikhail Pogarsky, Vasily Vlasov, Viktor Lukin. Artists' books speak the international language of art. These books can be understood in almost any corner of the world. Artists, who work in the genre of the artist's book professionally form a large international community. However, the artist's book like any other artform has its own regional and national peculiarities.

Apart from the language in which the text is presented, there are various historical roots from which the artist's book has emerged and on which the contemporary tree of this artform grows. In every country and in every city young artists learn many things from prominent artists and as such, new formal and informal schools of thought around the artist's book are formed.
