DESCRIPTION:Copresented by the UCLA Library and the Getty Research Institut
	e and funded by the Kress Foundation.\n\nSpeaker: Johanna Drucker\, Bresla
	uer professor of bibliographical studies\, Dept. of Information Studies\, 
	UCLA\n\nThe question of how to define an artist’s book has provoked endles
	s debate since the appearance of conceptual works in the 1960s attempted t
	o establish an authoritative claim over the term. But artists who make boo
	ks work in many traditions with histories that stretch back into antiquity
	 and across every culture on the globe. In contemporary practices\, neithe
	r production standards nor critical gatekeeping limit the boundaries of co
	llected items\, and the range of problems posed by the lifecycle of these 
	objects is equally multifaceted—and multifarious. Some critical understand
	ing of the field in its multiple dimensions is useful in considering the c
	are these works require. The issues are particularly challenging for works
	 whose material form makes them volatile or transient—or which are deliber
	ately conceived from the outset as unstable.\n\nEvent Website: https://www
