Full textAbstract:
Within the realm of artists' book works there are few that could not be said to display a fundamental concern with the physicality of the book. The mechanics of page turning are integrally implied in any artist's decision to utilise the book form. Indeed, artists' books emphasise the ability of book forms, and of text and language, to acquire meaning through form and structure alone. The physical and conceptual mechanics, or syntax, of the book - whose basis lies as much in the formal, functional dictates of the book's material characteristics, as in centuries of entrenched tradition in page layout and book design - affords a spatial, sculptural and temporal framework whose manipulation may be effortlessly and subconsciously 'read' by the viewer, according to their inherent understanding and appreciation of the form's conceptual function and operation. But while the structural connotations of the book suggest that special kind of decipherment known as 'reading', the broader associations of the book's mythic, iconic and historic symbolism may be equally unavoidable. The book works comprising the research that this paper accompanies therefore aim, on the one hand, to explore the formal, structural physicality and spatiality of the book as both a self-contained sculptural platform and as a particular sort of collection, or series, of visual imagery, while on the other hand, seeking to address the psychological form of the book as an iconic, symbolic object, and to simulate something of the character of the unique, precious and mythic books of the past. Thus it has been an attempt to deal with abstract notions of pattern and structure, as well as with the mental frameworks of association and connotation surrounding the visual modes adopted to represent these structures. The project presents an integrated and interrelated series of unique, hand-made book works that are about books - or perhaps a particular kind of 'bookishness' - a collection which aims to be physically very real, but at the same time completely mythical, and in whose volumes the common conceptual and aesthetic reference is the inherent, traditional austerity of the book page, and the simultaneous conceptual movement and structural dynamics of the mechanical book form.

Full textAbstract:
At this exact moment, graphic novels are enjoying a heyday of popularity, profusion and attention. As the graphic novel medium matures and detaches itself from the “non-serious” reputation of comics, it is becoming clear that graphic novels are a powerful and effective art form, using the both verbal and the visual to relay their narratives. Portrait, the short graphic novel that is my senior art project, is intended to emphasize the artist’s book character of the graphic novel, and serve as an example of how a graphic novel’s artist’s book characteristics allow communication of the artist’s message effectively.

Full textAbstract:
This Practice-Based Ph.D. thesis is in two sections, the written element presented as a sequence of eight Fascicles, and the practical element presented as an inter-related set of nine Artist’s Books and Multiples. This thesis presents a series of Artist’s Books and Multiples of graphic expressions of anxiety, each informed by a comparative study presented as a sequence of Fascicles of the visual strategies used to advertise cigarettes in America in mass-circulation magazines between 1945 and 1964. The thesis is presented as a boxed object containing the eight Fascicles (each containing a Gatefold Image) and the nine Artist’s Books and Multiples. The thesis identifies specific design and illustration solutions in cigarette advertising such as considerations of artwork, photography, layout, typography, characterisation, and diagrammatic representation of process. The conclusions are then used as the basis for 9 books and multiples in which I explore, within my own artwork, the dynamics of visual instruction, and the devices for reassuring the anxious consumer using irony and humour throughout. Each Fascicle has a Gatefold visual montage with juxtaposed imagery central to the theme. The thesis combines visual analysis and the making of imagery in equal measure. The vast proportion of original visual examples used in the Fascicles are reproduced for the first time in colour from a wide range of contemporary magazines. Particular emphasis is placed on the professional manuals generated by the advertising profession itself. A brief study of the cigarette market in the pre-1945 period identifies early anxieties about the product and how the tobacco industry and the advertising industry sought to address them. The thesis identifies the industries’ invention of the 'Safe Cigarette' and then explores the anxieties implicit in that concept, presenting visual means by which anxiety is depicted. Visual strategies of reassurance in the form of personifiers are compared - ranging from people in socially esteemed professions through to the use of animals (dogs) and visual fictions (Santa Claus). Two factors in particular have been identified to distract consumers from the gathering sense of unease in the safety of the product that culminated in the report of the American Surgeon General in 1964 - the appeal to the consumption of the cigarette in the outdoors and the corresponding success of menthol cigarettes, and the appeal to the reassurance that technology can impart - in the success of the Filter-Tip market. The twin polarities are reflected in the Artist’s books, 'Which Filter Works?' and 'Menthol Daze'. In the last Fascicle the techniques of persuasion after 1945 are compared with those used by the American Huckster of the early twentieth century and the thesis concludes with an assertion of the role that visual humour can play in exposing fallacious marketing.

Full textAbstract:
Narrative, often considered synonymous with “story,” can be viewed from a structuralist perspective and analyzed independent of any particular content. Breaking narrative into categories of story and discourse, this autonomous structure makes possible a translation of content from one form to another. The various media and form types common in graphic design can serve as both recipient and translator of narratives, converting content into a framework that includes the concept of craftsmanship, aesthetic components and specifications, legibility and composition, and the physical form of the designed object. To examine how this framework functions in practice, I have developed a series of three volumes in which cinematic tropes are represented in book form based on a morphology of traits.

The thesis spans two volumes ... Volume two is an artist's book and although it is part of the project I have set myself, it is not being submitted with the theoretical component of the MA dissertation, but as part of the practical component.' -- Abstract.Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2007.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The thesis investigates the contemporary practice of book art, examining in particular the manner in which it fits both into the tradition of the book and the tradition of art making. The thesis spans two volumes. Volume One discusses the phenomenon of the artist's book from three vantage points: the attempts to define it, the attempts to catalogue it and the attempts to interpret it. Volume Two is an artist's book and although it is part of the project I have set myself, it is not being submitted with the theoretical component of the MA dissertation, but as part of the practical component. (Briefly, one of the tasks it embarks upon is an examination of the phenomenon of thesis writing, as understood and endeavoured by myself in the production of the first volume - in this sense it is self-reflective. Another is an examination of some aspects of my attempts to make examples of artist's books, which includes an investigation of some of the recurrent themes and preoccupations of my work) Volume One is set out in three chapters. The first chapter pursues a definition of book art and the artist's book in order to draw some perimeters around the subject, and to build a picture of its nature. In the course of doing this, the ideas of some book artists and book art commentators are considered in an attempt to create a richer tapestry of understanding. In the next chapter some of the ways in which book art has been categorised are discussed. This is in order to more finely delineate the nature and scope of book art. It is also to bring some clarity to bear upon the different components and manifestations of a vast and sometimes confusing oeuvre. I then suggest a system of classification of my own which offers an adjacent model for investigating artists' books and the endeavour of book art. With the above model in place, I undertake a foray into the arena of interpretation. Here I suggest the suitability of adopting certain methodologies of interpretation that come from the field of contemporary literary studies in general, and the interpretation of poetry in particular. I draw comparisons between the book artist and the poet, and suggest that they occupy a similar territory of meaning making. In the course of laying out my arguments in the three chapters, I refer extensively to examples of artists' books in order to make particular points. Where I consider it apt, I draw upon my book art as a source of example. In this way, I am able to weave into the text some information and reflection about my own practice and concerns as a book artist.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word in die tesis ondersoek ingestel na die hedendaagse praktyk van die boekkuns en in die besonder die wyse waarop dit aansluit by die tradisie van die boek en die tradisie van die kuns. Die tesis beslaan twee volumes. Volume Een bespreek die fenomeen van die kunstenaarsboek vanuit drie invalshoeke: pogings om dit te definieer, pogings om dit te katalogisieer en pogings om dit te interpreteer. Volume Twee is 'n kunstenaarsboek en, hoewel dit deel uitmaak van die projek wat ek ondemeem het, word dit nie voorgele saam met die teoretiese komponent van die MA- dissertasie nie maar as deel van die praktiese komponent. (Een van die take wat dit ondemeem is, kortliks, 'n ondersoek van die fenomeen tesis-skryf soos ek dit met die produksie van die eerste volume self verstaan en benader het - in die sin is dit selfreflektief. 'n Ander taak is 'n ondersoek van sekere aspekte van my pogings om kunstenaarsboeke te maak, insluitende 'n ondersoek na van die deurlopende temas en preokupasies van my werk.) Volume Een bestaan uit drie hoofstukke. Die eerste hoofstuk streef na 'n definisie van die boekkuns en die kunstenaarsboek met die doel om die onderwerp nader te ornlyn en 'n beeld daarvan op te bou. In die proses word die idees van 'n aantal boekkunstenaars en boekkuns-kommentatore oorweeg in die poging om n ryker begripstapisserie te weef. In die daaropvolgende hoofstuk word van die wyses waarop die boekkuns gekategoriseer is, bespreek, om die aard en rykwydte van die boekkuns nog nader te omlyn. Dit work ook gedoen om lig te werp op die verskillende onderdele en manifestasies van 'n omvangryke en soms verwarrende oeuvre. Ek stel vervolgens my eie klassifiseringsisteem voor, wat 'n verdere model hied vir die ondersoek van kunstenaarsboeke en die boekkunsbedryf. Aan die hand van hierdie model betree ek dan die arena van interpretasie. Ek stel voor dat sekere interpretasiemetodes ontleen aan die tydgenootlike literatuurwetenskap, en spesifiek die interpreteer van poesie, oorweeg word. Ek vergelyk die boekkunstenaar met die digter en stel voor dat hulle op soortgelyke wyses met die skep van betekenis omgaan. In die loop van die uiteensetting van my argument in drie hoofstukke, verwys ek ekstensief na voorbeelde van kunstenaarsboeke om spesifieke punte te maak. Waar ek dit as gepas beskou, verwys ek, by wyse van illustrasie, na my eie boekkuns. Op hierdie manier is dit vir my moontlik om inligting en besinning oor my eie praktyk en pre-okkupasies as boekkunstenaar met die teks te verweef.

Full textAbstract:
Construite à partir des questions soulevées par le travail artistique de l’auteur, cette thèse examine le rapport qu’entretiennent certains artistes, essentiellement contemporains, avec la réalité de l’image photographique, sa capacité à produire une abstraction et à s’inscrire dans un agencement. Considérée selon un double point de vue, la notion d’agencement apparait ici d’une part comme le processus de l’artiste qui travaille avec des images,et d’autre part comme une forme d’organisation qui favorise une diversité de relations entre les images, àla façon de constellations. La première partie intitulée « les conditions de l’agencement » s’intéresse au passage à l’acte photographique, à l’appropriation d’une image, comme au détachement que nécessitent parfois ces deux actions propres aux pratiques de Christian Marclay et Wolfgang Tillmans. Alternative à ces divers mouvements qui animent les élans de l’artiste vers le réel, l’abstraction photographique fait l’objet d’une étude à travers l’analyse des travaux de quelques artistes parmi lesquels Pierre Cordier, Michael Flomen et James Welling.La seconde partie s’attache à décrire comment « l’agencement d’images » est investi d’un fonctionnement caractéristique du montage cinématographique et de l’atlas warburgien. Sont ainsi tour à tour observées des oeuvres où l’agencement d’images est délimité par le cadre (John Baldessari et John Stezaker), ventilé à travers les pages d’un livre (Hans-Peter Feldmann, Luis Jacob, Gerhard Richter, etc.) et déployé dans l’espace d’exposition : sur les cimaises, au sol ou sur des tables (Pierre Leguillon, Batia Suter, Wolfgang Tillmans). L’intérêtest finalement porté sur les enjeux de transmission de l’agencement, sa volonté de non-Hiérarchie aussi, et ce notamment, dans le contexte d’expositions de collections publiques et privées (Des images comme des oiseaux, Le Mur, Les peintres de la vie moderne).À l’issue de ce texte placé en regard d’une succession de planches d’images s’ouvre une autre collection dephotographies annotées et légendées, consacrée à la pratique artistique de l’auteurDeveloped based on questions from the author’s artistic practice, this thesis examines the relationship between some artists, mainly contemporary, and the reality of the photographic picture, its ability to produce abstraction and to fit within a display. Considered here in a double perspective, the concept of display is seen, on one hand, as the process of the artist working with pictures and, on the other hand, as an organizational model that foster a variety of connections, like constellations do.Entitled “display’s conditions”, the first part deals with photographic acting-Out, the appropriation of a picture as well as the detachment that sometimes these two actions involve like in Christian Marclay’s and Wolfgang Tillmans’s practices. As an alternative to these various movements which spur on the artist’s impetus towards reality, photographic abstraction is considered for further study through the analysis of artistic works like Pierre Cordier’s, Michael Flomen’s or James Welling’s.The second part describes how the “display of pictures” is invested by a functioning that is a feature of editingand Warburg’s atlas. Several works are observed in which the display of pictures is delimited by the frame(John Baldessari and John Stezaker) scattered through the pages of a book (Hans-Peter Feldmann’s, LuisJacob’s, Gerhard Richter’s, etc.) and spread out in the exhibition space: on the walls, the ground and tables(Pierre Leguillon, Batia Suter, Wolfgang Tillmans). The interest is finally moved on the issue of displaytransmission, its aim of non-Hierarchy, especially in the context of public and private collections exhibited(Des images comme des oiseaux, Le Mur, Les Peintres de la vie moderne).As the outcome of this text that appears beside a series of plates, a new collection of annotated and captionedphotographs is developed, dedicated to the artistic practice of the author

Aly, Islam Mahmoud Mohamed. "Historical book structures and artists' books as a teaching tool." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3040.
Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on developing a book arts curriculum as a tool for teaching about creativity and problem solving. The curriculum's ultimate goal is to introduce and emphasize book arts as an expressive and powerful medium to future teachers and artists.
Book arts will be used to offer potentialities for collaborative, learner-centered instruction. Students will create structures and artists' books from their experience, their learning will emerge from personal interactions with the structures and artists' books presented.
The curriculum is planned into three modules, each module containing a different set of projects and activities organized to scaffold students learning in an engaging process. The modules examine book structures, artists' books, and a project that can either further explore book structures and artists books, or it can explore incorporating some other aspect of book arts in the project. Each module provides a broad range of examples, discussions, questions, and applications.

Full textAbstract:
I regard the culturally rich bookbinding as formats that hold great meaning; I made models of books that existed in different cultures through the history of the book. I became interested in how each structure had unique features and how the books themselves transmitted knowledge about their form.
This interest in bookbinding formats led me to explore ways to add content to The binding plays a powerful role in producing my artist's books, the look and presence of these bindings is an integral part of my work and they are linked to the content and aesthetics. The final pieces encourage the viewer to interact with the work.

Full textAbstract:
Refletindo sobre uma sensação de leveza e dilatação da passagem temporal, a pesquisa elabora a expressão \"tempo suspenso\" e analisa de que maneira essa singular percepção pode ser transmutada em códices. Para sua compreensão, dialoga sobretudo com duas produções artísticas: Em busca do tempo perdido (1908-1922), de Marcel Proust, e A última tempestade (1991), de Peter Greenaway. A primeira foi escolhida por discutir uma sensação como estopim para a elaboração de uma poética. A segunda, por colocar o códice artesanal como receptáculo de um assunto. O campo formado pelas duas referências aglutina a temática levantada e representa princípios geradores e norteadores no desenvolvimento de uma sintaxe visual composta de referências históricas e formais da estrutura do códice. Ademais, para a compreensão da dilatação do tempo foram analisadas obras clássicas japonesas onde se encontram características próprias dos termos wabi-sabi e ma. Elas são a representação estética de um método no qual a práxis poética é um momento decisivo na estruturação do objeto final. A partir dos diálogos estabelecidos, foram realizados sete livros de artista, chamados de códices, cada um apresentado separadamente em capítulos formados por registros fotográficos e textos contextualizadores dos assuntos elaborados.Reflecting upon a soft and expanding sense of the passage of time, this re- search elaborates the term \"suspended time\", analyzing how this singular perception is possibly transformed into codex art. It dialogues mainly with two artistic works for further comprehension: Marcel Proust\'s In Search of Lost Time (1908-1922) and Peter Greenway\'s Prospero\'s Book (1991). The first one has been chosen for debating a sensation as the trigger for the elaboration of poetics. The second one for setting the handicraft codex as receptacle of a subject. The field formed by both works ties together the presented topic and represents the generative and guiding principles of a visual syntax made up of formal and historical references from the codex structure. Furthermore, in order to comprehend the expansion of time, classical Japanese works in which specific characteristics of the terms wabi-sabi and ma appear, have been analyzed. They are the aesthetic representation of a method in which the poetic praxis has a major role in the final object construction. Seven artists\' books named codex have been created out of the established discussion, each one is presented separately in chapters formed by photographic records and guiding texts about the formulated topics.

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa é encontrar os possíveis diálogos entre palavra e imagem, dentro da Poesia Visual, Artes e Design. A proposta é realizar entrelaçamentos entre a palavra e imagem nessas linguagens, buscando encontros e desencontros, usando como fio condutor dessas reflexões a produção de Livros de Artista feitos por Mira Schendel, Lygia Pape, Edith Derdyk e do poeta visual Ronaldo Azeredo, que trabalharam a relação verbal e visual explorando diferentes possibilidades de representação, gerando obras representativas com grande valor artístico, estético e cultural. A ideia é traçar o caminhar dessas linguagens desde seus primórdios até os dias de hoje, relatando seus diálogos e retomando as origens dessas relações, pesquisando onde palavra e imagem iniciam seus encontros, quais suportes usados e sua exploração, quais as influências dos movimentos artísticos e como isso refletiu nas representações artísticas. A contemporaneidade é marcada por uma grande proliferação de imagens nas mídias e no cotidiano, mas como é feita esta leitura? Acredita-se na importância do olhar crítico em relação à visualidade, por isso a relevância deste estudo, que pensa sobre a imagem e sua relação com o verbal, levantando questões tão contemporâneas como a grande quantidade de imagens que recebemos no dia-a-dia, constatando que é preciso um olhar apurado sobre elas. O que se consegue elaborar em termos de conhecimentos nessas relações? Após a leitura dos autores, análise dos Livros de Artista, conversas e entrevistas com a artista Edith Derdyk, buscou-se um entendimento sobre os diálogos entre a palavra e a imagem, suas relações, encontros e desencontros. Esta pesquisa finaliza com um relato de experiência realizado com alunos do ensino médio na construção do livro de artista
Abstract: The goal of this research is to find possible dialogues between word and image within visual poetry, art and design. The proposal is to interweave word and image within these languages, seeking agreements and disagreements, using as a thread for these reflections the production of artistsʼ books made by Mira Schendel, Lygia Pape, Edith Derdyk and by visual poet Ronaldo Azeredo, who investigated verbal and visual relationship through different possibilities of representation, creating representative works with great artistic, aesthetic and cultural value. The idea is to outline the evolutions of these languages from their beginnings to the present day, narrating their dialogue and looking back on the origins of these relationships, researching where word and image started to merge, what media were used and how they were used. This paper also reflects on the influence of the avant-garde and how these movements are expressed in the artistsʼ books. The contemporary world is marked by a proliferation of images in the media and in everyday life, but how is this reading done? The critical eye toward the visual is seen today as highly important. This accounts for the relevance of this study, which proposes to think about the image and its relationship with the word, raise contemporary issues such as the large amount of images we receive from day to day and corroborate the idea that you must have a sharp eye on them. What knowledge can we draw from these relationships? After reading authors, analyzing artistsʼ books, interviewing the artist Edith Derdyk, we looked for an understanding of the dialogue between word and image, their relations, agreements and disagreements. This research concludes with an annexe that describes the experience undertaken with high school students during the creation of artistsʼ books

Full textAbstract:
The field of artists' books is a realm in which a phenomenon is mapped and territorialized. This is based on the human necessity to map the world and have a better grasp of it. Additionally, it is constructed on the understanding of the history of the book’s physicality as an important emblem in civilization. An artist’s book is an isolated realm, both a map and a territory. It is closed in itself, and has its own rules and dynamics, yet carries varied affinities with the outside world.

Resumo: Livro: material da dobra e do labirinto pretende testar o fazer de um objeto livro, por entre experimentações e procedimentos artísticos (gráficos, plásticos e digitais), em aproximação com os conceitos de dobra e labirinto do filósofo pós-estruturalista Gilles Deleuze (1991).

Abstract: Book: fold and labyrinth material aims to test the making of a book object, through experimentation and artistic procedures (graphics, plastics and digital), in close proximity to the concepts of fold and labyrinth by the poststructuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1991). The inspiration for this proposal was my master dissertation entitled Objects and Affects (2014, IEL-Labjor, Unicamp), in which I tried to give visibility to the research writing process, leaving visible erasures, corrections, sketches, with drawings, ink stains and sewing threads, in dialogue with the Brazilian artist Arthur Bispo do Rosário and the poet Manoel de Barros. With the desire to continue the research, in the doctorate we seek to broaden the web of connections between authors and artists to investigate the thesis itself as a shelter of the various gestures and procedures of making a book object (or an object book). A willingness to compose blades of spaces-times in which the imagetext relations unfold through the labyrinths of the visual poetry of Augusto de Campos, Haroldo de Campos and Julio Plaza, through the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, and the books and installations of Edith Derdyk. A search for handmade-digital surfaces that accumulate the layers of the lost directions, the choices drawn, the scrambled paths, the inspiring references of the process of making-writing a book.

The conceptual foundation for my creative thesis work is based in research into the development of science, particularly the field of cosmology, and its related visual vocabulary. Three interrelated projects encompass my interests in unique artists' books and variable editions, research based projects, codified presentation of data, and universal interconnectedness, or oneness in all things, that was at the heart of medieval cosmology and is embraced by some 21st century subcultures.
The thematic timeline of the artwork spans developments in the Early Middle Ages related to astronomy and cosmology and through 20th century guidebooks and NASA's social media accounts. The resulting artwork includes an artist's book, sculptural bookwork, monoprints, and an edition of broadsides.

Full textAbstract:
In short, I would argue that our notion of the artist's book came about not through a singular definitive change in the practical mode with which an artist might choose to express himself, as for instance in the familiar Marxist model of greater distribution and economy of the art object through mass-production, but rather in a fundamental and decisive change in the consciousness of both author and reader as a concrete corollary of many different factors. Thus the difficulty of defining precisely what sort of classification one should impose or how to exclude, include or segregate into category the many different tribes of book that might satisfy a particular brief is essentially brushed aside. The familiar skirmishes between the modernist protagonists of mass-production and the paladins of craft over content are immaterial; it is the reader who, just as much (if not more) than the artist/author, establishes the conditions with which the book will become meaningful. "Tropes" by Paul Claydon In PutAbout: a Critical Anthology of Independent Publishing (Maria Fusco and Ian Hunt eds. ) London: Bookworks, 2004. p124. The Everyday Press began its life as a proposal for a Fine Art Practice-based Doctoral Research at the University of Kingston. This research practically questions how publishing artists' books can be considered an art practice in and of itself, it articulates a series of problematic associated with the position of the artist as publisher and the effective conditions of reception of the said books within the field of Artists Books. The Everyday Press is a publisher of artists' books. This means that the practical, actual, critical and historical commitments of The Everyday Press to artists' books are its project. How this is arguably achieved is documented in part by this thesis and made evident by the publications themselves. The present thesis contains all the publications of The Everyday Press to date as well as four contextual volumes that approach the work of The Everyday Press from different perspectives. Through a process of mise en abyme each volume includes one another in a condensed, reflected form. In this four volumes thesis I will specify my use of mise en abyme as a self-reflexive structure and a working model for the research. Together the thesis forms an expose of The Everyday Press as a work in itself. The contextual volumes are organised as follows: Volume One proposes an outline of the field and defines an area of knowledge and professional experience of the publisher. This is done in order to first expose on the one hand the conventional relationship of the press to the field and on the other its attempt at expanding the category through practical publishing. This first volume sets The Everyday Press in a critical and historical moment informed by precedents. Volume Two endeavours to describe the publications, their context of production and content. It constitutes a catalogue of the publications to date and problematises the intentions of the publisher against the actual publications and their possible reception as artists' books. The writing here should at times be understood as a parody of some authoritative interpretive modes related to artists books, particularly those seeking affiliation and original contributions. Those intentions are as laden with problematic a priori conceptions, unshakable because they are always already present to the interpretive paradigm that bypasses the reader and his ability to make his mind up for himself. Volume Three marks the traces of the passage of a few artists' books through time and space and produces an account of the field through revealing anecdotes and encounters. This account of the field is also where some of the networks of dissemination of the books are exposed as productive sites and encounters rather than as neutral vehicles for distribution. The books are released through distributive networks, bookshops, museums and the Internet. The research documents and interrogates how such networks may have been formed in the past and how the channels of distribution constitute an essential part of the Field of Artists Books. Volume Four is a bibliography of books and catalogues on artists' books. The bibliography takes stock of a wide variety of publications on artists' books to draw attention to the kind of documentary trace of distribution, circulation and reception they represent That overlooked history of the practice of exhibiting, publishing, disseminating and collecting artist's books during the last forty years is primarily focused on bibliographic data where the main criteria is bibliographical information rather than critical writing or texts on artists' books. My research gathered and compiled these documents in order to provide an aspect of the field often ignored. In its final form it aims to be a source book of exhibition catalogues, collection catalogues, monographs, dealership catalogues and other lists published to inform, promote, describe, show, distribute and circulate artists' books. A series of exhibition of that material and the works of The Everyday Press further the work of public dissemination of the present research. Although this is not stated repeatedly in the thesis, the material presence of The Everyday Press publications should be assumed throughout. The reader can take for granted that books were exchanged, gifted and pushed on anyone remotely interested in the subject of artists' books I came in contact with in the course of the research. My long-standing experience as an art book dealer provided the background knowledge and direct connections to doing the work of production, distribution and research necessary for the PhD. That background no doubt played a role in wanting to produce new books with other artists, possibly wanting to make the kind of books I didn't see because they didn't exist. While all the people contacted for the purpose of this enquiry were aware of my being an artist undertaking a work of research related to artists' books also consisting in a publisher, they welcomed my questions and the books I came with as a genuine publishing project. Explaining what I was doing was not always easy and The Everyday Press publications were also a calling card for me to contact artists, publishers, dealers, editors etc. Paradoxically it is the work of research itself (for example interviewing a publisher or an librarian, or looking for reference books in a dealer's basement) that represents a practical insertion of The Everyday Press into the field (where publishers compare notes, the librarian gladly accepts a new free book and dealers sometimes share some knowledge). As we will see in the thesis, the category of artists' books is full of those contradictions and paradoxes: to begin with artists' books are viewed and received as Art but released as books.

Full textAbstract:
The field of activity in artists’ books – artworks in the form of a book - has evolved over the last sixty years into a significant, international contemporary arts practice. Many artists, especially those new to the field, search for the means of situating their practice and extending their knowledge. Artists seek answers on how and where they can connect with other practitioners, increase their knowledge of, and place themselves within the international field. They need to know how and where they can learn to create, market, exhibit, contextualise and sell their work to the public. These needs have informed the development of the research question: How can practice-informed, participatory research develop and extend knowledge and debate in the international field of artists’ books? This question is predicated on the needs of a wide range of artists’ books practitioners, and many others with whom their practice is interwoven: librarians, researchers, students, curators, educators and the public. The following DPhil commentary offers a post-rationalisation of some of the issues and solutions for connecting artists’ books internationally, based upon my research and the network hub I have established at UWE, Bristol. In the text, I reflect upon my contribution to new knowledge through offering examples of artistic and curatorial practice, research and publications that have raised awareness in relation to specific interventions in Australia, Brazil, Europe, Iraq, South Africa and the USA. This DPhil submission discusses the research aims outlined within the narrative, under the heading Connecting Artists’ Books - The Findings, in relation to the evidence submitted in the accompanying portfolio of publications. The portfolio includes samples of authored books, edited publications, published articles and artists’ books created. These have been collated under the related headings of: practice, reporting on the field, curatorial, artefacts. I will use the following commentary to explore and analyse the contemporary position of the artist’s book, in order to reflect upon how its creators and audiences have been rhizomatically interwoven into my research investigations and how the participants have benefitted. The analysis outlines contributions made to new knowledge through some of the interventions I have made as a practitioner, publisher, curator and writer. It identifies examples of themes of practice discovered, revealed and connected through these interventions and their impact upon the field of artists’ books today.

Sheah, Julie. "Reading Dreams| Representation of Dreams Through Artists' Books." Thesis, The George Washington University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1591082.
Full textAbstract:
Within pages and spreads, a reader can sometimes experience someone’s stream of consciousness. The book’s narrative, images, prose, and other components can break free from the parameters of a conventional book, unbound by the rules of formatting styles, grammar, and narrative. An artists’ book is free to be confusing, delightful, and horrifying. When creating an artists’ book to represent a dream, the difficulty of solidly recounting images and events that existed only in my mind creates a barrier between the reader and me. This barrier makes me feel inarticulate and ineffectual in that one of my main objectives as an artist is to coherently express an idea. While no medium possesses the capacity to fully transmit a dream, the artists’ book is one of the most comprehensive, artistic representations of a dream, and the parallels between experiencing a dream and experiencing a book allow for the terms “artist” and “dreamer” to shift interchangeably.

Full textAbstract:
Lynd Ward, an American Expressionist artist, and “father of the graphic novel,” helped shape the conventions of contemporary artists’ books. His legacy has influenced the direction beyond the graphic novel in areas such as the use of Expressionism and printmaking in the artists’ book, breaking graphic conventions, and using the artists’ book to convey a socio-political commentary. This paper will explain his influence and legacy by comparing his work to four contemporary artists’ books. Ward’s work, however, has only recently been recognized as a significant influence on graphic novels and has yet to be fully acknowledged as an influence on American artists’ books.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa propõe o estudo do processo de legitimação do autor e de suas obras nas artes visuais em duas frentes complementares de trabalho. A primeira, de natureza artística, é a criação de uma enciclopédia de artistas que, em um primeiro momento, não se difere de outras publicações desse tipo, mas que, na verdade, possui uma característica bastante peculiar. A segunda frente de trabalho, de natureza mais teórica, é a escrita de uma dissertação que analisará o processo de criação dessa enciclopédia e algumas das questões levantadas em sua produção. Entre elas, o papel da fotografia do objeto artístico e do texto crítico na validação de obras e de artistas no campo das Artes Visuais

Full textAbstract:
Fool’s Gold is a collection of handmade books that illustrate selected Grimms’ fairy tales and offer an unexpected interpretation of the actions of the heroes. Each book displays a unique cover decoration, inspired by medieval European treasure bindings. Treasure bindings incorporate dimensional decorative elements such as gems, gold or other metalwork and often depict Christ's suffering. In a similar way, Fool's Gold beautifies the suffering of the protagonists using gold leaf, glass beads and lush illustrations. A traditional hidden fore-edge painting technique is used to reveal more scenes from each story. When the pages are fanned opened, the fore-edge paintings display the gruesome revenge the perceived heroes take upon the villains.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis entails an explorative and argumentative study that is concerned with the importance and relevance of artist books, as substantiated by art-historical research into the way in which people present, organize and interpret knowledge about their world as observed in the history of the ever-evolving book; as well as related critical and theoretical discussions surrounding language and art. The structure of the thesis is based on the triadic treatment of book types as presented in philosophers Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of the Rhizome in A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1987). Each book essentially stands for a particular system or paradigm of thought that is described in terms of a biological structure. These are the Root book, the Fascicular book and the Rhizome. The root and fascicular structures are shown to be ubiquitous within dominant Western habits of thought, emphasised by the tendency to organize elements around a singular, central motif and, as a result, to create binaries. Although useful for certain practices in life, these patterns of thought have potentially problematic socio-political implications, and they are especially limiting with regards to creative work. An argument is developed in defence of the third book type, the rhizome, as a means of thinking in a non-linear, acentred and more complex and connected way about art, oneself and one’s world. At its core, this thesis works towards establishing a theoretical framework for the practice of artist books, showing how, in numerous ways, artist books encompass this rhizomatic way of thinking.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis omvat ’n verkennende en argumentatiewe studie wat gemoeid is met die belang en relevansie van kunstenaarsboeke, soos gestaaf deur kunsgeskiedkundige navorsing oor die maniere waarop mense kennis aanbied, organiseer en vertolk, soos dit in die geskiedenis van die altyd-veranderende boek gesien word. Die tesis sluit ook verwante kritiese en teoretiese besprekings rondom taal en kuns in. Die struktuur van die tesis gebruik as basis die drievoudige indeling van boektipes in die *losowe Deleuze en Guattari se teorie van die Risoom in hulle werk A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1987). Elke boek verteenwoordig in essensie ’n bepaalde sisteem of paradigma van denke wat in terme van ’n biologiese struktuur beskryf word. Die drie tipes is die Wortelboek, die Fassikulêre of Trosboek, en die Risoom. Die wortel- en trosstrukture word uitgewys as alomteenwoordig binne dominante Westerse denkgewoontes, waar dit beklemtoon word deur die geneigdheid om elemente rondom ’n enkele sentrale motief te organiseer, en sodoende binêre opposisies te vorm. Alhoewel dit nuttig mag wees vir sekere lewenspraktyke, hou hierdie denkpatrone potensieel problematiese sosio-politiese implikasies in, en hulle is besonder beperkend vir kreatiewe werk. Die tesis ontwikkel verder ’n argument ter verdediging van die derde boektipe, die risoom, as ’n wyse om op ’n nie-lineêre, a-sentriese en meer komplekse en verbonde manier oor kuns, die self en die wêreld te dink. Die kern van die tesis is gemoeid met die vestiging van ’n teoretiese raamwerk vir die praktyk van kunstenaarsboeke, en dit wys hoe kunstenaarsboeke op velerlei maniere die risomatiese wyse van denke omvat.

Investigations in Botanical Contact Printing (Where the Light Meets the Trees; Thirteen Variations) explores the process of botanical contact printing on paper, culminating in a series of thirteen handmade artist books. Each of the thirteen books contains a poem from a collection of thirteen poems written by Alice Yousef. Every element of the book: materials, structure, calligraphed text, type of botanical contact print, sometimes the enclosure, responds to the poem, providing a visual interpretation of the written word. The completely different approaches to binding structure in this series intend to not only visually support the text, but also explore the possibilities of botanical contact print imagery in the book form.

Daly, Timothy Michael. "Towards a fugitive press : materiality and the printed photograph in artists' books." Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2016. http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/617237/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists' books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle. My research examines the discourse surrounding the materiality of the photographic print within artists' publishing and explores book handling as a research method to identify non-codex forms that invite non-sequential reading, physical interaction and touch. The primary purpose of the practice element of my research is to test disruptive making strategies and fugitive materials, in order to make tacit knowledge explicit in the physical forms of prototypes and finished artists' books that operate beyond our horizons of expectations. My practice interconnects the separate fields of documentary photography and curating photography and the vernacular together with visual humour and seeks to restore a connection with the 'thingness' of photography largely absent in the post-digital age.

McDowall, John Charles. "The time of reading : artists' books and self-reflexive practices in literature." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/20652/.
Full textAbstract:
This project proposes that the reading of an artist’s book is one that may entail an experience that is distinctive to the medium, one that encompasses a shift of expectations of what a book is or does. That there is an awareness of the book held in the hands, and of its interactivity and deployment in time, and that this combination of tactile and cognitive negotiation of the mechanisms of the book’s structure, sequence and content make for a particularity of engagement. As a dialogical relationship, coming from a personal and infinitely variable experience of the book by its reader/viewer, this is one that is inherently elusive and complex to analyse. In investigating the nature of the temporality of self-reflexive dynamics as an underlying characteristic of the medium, this thesis submits that the foregrounding of the synthesis in time of the mutable and the concrete may be an apposite and constructive approach to exposition and evaluation of this heterogeneous field. The development of this research and the setting out of the enquiry has been undertaken through the production and methodology of my practice, which takes such auto-reflectivity as manifest subject. The thesis approaches the questions by means of the allusion to the occurrences and strategic use of self-conscious metafictional play in literature, not as a directly comparative study but by appraising the effect in terms of relational, and at times implicit association. Following an outline of the contexts of the critical study of artists’ books and of structuralist and post-structuralist narratology and literary theory in terms of the specular, the main portion of the writing is in the form of self-contained sections, in each of which a range of figures and mechanisms are considered, forming an overall constellation of shifting interconnection.

Esta dissertação trata sobre o potencial formativo dos registros durante o processo criativo da encenação em sala de aula. O trabalho parte dos estudos da crítica genética literária, por meio do pensamento de Cecília Almeida Salles, e da Genética Teatral, a partir do pensamento de Josette Féral e Almuth Grésillon sobre a problemática lançada de como fazer os registros em teatro. Esta pesquisa problematiza a efemeridade da encenação diante do processo de registro. A partir disso, é utilizado o processo de montagem do espetáculo A História Secreta da Lua, de autoria da pesquisadora, releitura do mito judaico-cristão da criação humana, com uma turma de treze alunos do ensino médio do Colégio de Aplicação da UFRGS. A pesquisa buscou alternativas para conceber o livro de encenação e refletir sobre a prática do teatro performativo como pedagogia teatral. Buscou-se estabelecer relações entre o processo de criação e o processo de aprendizagem em teatro. A pesquisa baseia-se nos Estudos da Performance para apontar indicadores de pesquisa dentro do campo da Genética Teatral que possibilitem a fabricação dos registros presentes no livro de encenação e as consequências dessa busca no caminho de aprendizagem dos alunos-atores em situação colaborativa de criação. Por intermédio de registros em grupo fechado, colhidos da rede social Facebook, bem como fotografias e registros retirados de gravações em vídeo e diário de trabalho, busca analisar os principais caminhos percorridos para os registros produzidos. Durante esse percurso, os registros colhidos foram selecionados e reunidos na materialidade do livro de encenação, que é resultado do processo, revela quando a qualidade performativa dos registros e contribuindo para o processo de aprendizagem dos alunos-atores por intermédio da indissociabilidade entre os processos criativo e pedagógico. Essa indissociabilidade demonstrou que há uma ampliação do aprendizado para outras referências artísticas além do território do teatro. Os registros quanto ao seu elemento formativo demonstraram ser hábeis em revelar qualidades como: o nível de envolvimento dos alunos no processo criativo e o fortalecimento da identidade de grupo, além de atuar como concretude de uma prática docente que pode ser consultada como referencial mnemônico do processo e mais especificamente dos elementos da encenação. Os registros mostram pela materialidade do livro igualmente, possibilidades de desdobramento na esfera artística e pedagógica o que reforça a constatação da performatividade dos mesmos.This dissertation deals with the formative potential of the records during the creative staging process in the classroom. The work is based from the genetic literary criticism studies from the thoughts of Cecilia Almeida Salles and of the Theatrical Genetics from the thoughts of Josette Féral and Almuth Grésillon about the issue launched on how to make the records in theater. This research discusses the ephemerality of the staging facing the registration process. From this on, it is used the assembly process of the show The Secret History of the Moon, written by the researcher, reinterpretation of the Jewish-Christian myth of the human creation, with a group of thirteen high school students of the UFRGS Application High School. The research sought for alternatives to conceive the staging book and reflect about the practice of the performative theater as theatrical pedagogy. It attempted to establish relationships between the process of creation and the learning process in theater. The research is based on the Performance Studies to point indicators of the research within the Theatrical Genetics field which enable the production of the records presented in the staging book and the consequences of this quest in the path of the learning of the students- actors in the collaborative situation of the creation . Through the records in closed group picked from the Facebook social network, as well as photographs and records taken from video recordings and daily work, seeks to analyze the main paths taken for the records produced. Along the way the selected records were chosen and gathered in the materiality of the staging book, which is the result of the process, revealing the performative quality of the records and contributing to the learning process of the students-actors through the inseparability between the creative and pedagogical processes. This inseparability demonstrated that there is an extension of the learning for the other artistic references beyond the territory of the theatre. The records regarding to their formative element proved to be skillful in revealing qualities such as: the level of the involvement of the students in the creative process and the strengthening of the group identity, besides acting as a concreteness of a teaching practice that can be consulted as a mnemonic reference of the process and more specifically of the staging elements. The records show by the materiality of the book also the possibilities of the deployment in the artistic and pedagogical spheres which reinforces the finding of the performativity of thereof.

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish photographer and artist Eva Klasson, based in Paris in the 1970s, gained attention for her series of black-and-white photography of her own naked body, which opened up for an international artistic career in the late 1970s. Despite a promising career she however abandoned photography and disappeared from the artistic sphere only a few years after her debut. There has been a renewed interest in Klasson’s work in Sweden the last decade where she has been exhibited at museums and galleries. Today she is represented at art museums and institutions including Moderna Museet, The Modern Museum of Art, in Stockholm. She is now presented as a pioneer and a forerunner to the later generation of Swedish women artists working with photo based art and staged photography in the 1990s. This historiographical study revisits Klasson’s work, career and reception in order to examine the prevalent understanding of the artist and her work. There is limited previous research on Klasson. This empirical study is therefore based on Klasson’s works that I have examined first hand at Moderna Museet and Borås konstmuseum. By tracing Klasson’s career and examining the contemporary reception in France and in Sweden one can see that Klasson not only enjoyed wider attention in France than in Sweden but also that she was received and understood differently in the two countries. Today’s prevalent reading of Klasson is to a large extent based on the contemporary reception, which disregards important aspects of her work. By discussing Klasson’s body of work in relation to photography of similar subject matter and aesthetics it become clear that one cannot only discuss her work in terms of photography. It is evident that Klasson’s work comprises of subtle elements that have largely been ignored so far. The prevalent understanding of Klasson also shows to be based on a narrow selection of her work. I argue that Klasson’s working method and artistic expression is formulaic. This becomes evident in the examination of her artist book, Le troisième angle (1976), which set off her artistic career. The artist’s book also forms a background against which this artistic project originally had been formulated and brings new light to Klasson and her work. Her two following series, Ombilic (1977) and Parasites (1978), are modeled on the artist’s book. Therefore these three series, following the same strategy, must be regarded in relation to one another. Furthermore I argue that one needs to pay attention to all parts of her artistic production that together comprise the works. In doing so, this essay, with its historiographical scope, suggests and opens up to new and alternative readings of Klasson’s work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a practice‐based exploration of the relationship between narrative and the use of the book form in artists’ books and children’s picturebooks, placing emphasis on the experiential qualities of the physical book. Most of the academic literature on the relationship between artists’ books and children’s picturebooks focuses on the finished book. Taking a practice‐based perspective, I approached this project as a book artist and explored my attempts to make a children’s picturebook. My analysis of the creation of a series of books contextualised with a discussion of literature on artists’ books and children’s picturebooks led to an investigation of the structures of children's picturebooks and the ways in which it overlaps with artists’ books. As a book artist, I had not anticipated my use of the book form to present significant creative challenges. However, the picturebook form imposed a more direct story than I would usually work with when creating artist’s books; new ways of using the book form emerged. My depictions of narrative became more figurative and my use of the book form took on greater subtlety. A key outcome of this research was a discussion from the book artist’s perspective of the process of creating a children's picturebook. An analysis of my practical work demonstrated the possibility of taking an interdisciplinary approach as a way for practitioners to discuss work in progress and finished work, offering insights into the process of both creating and interpreting practical work while investigating the relationship between artists’ books and children’s picturebooks.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis documents a range of visual and textual records of women artists and illustrators in Edinburgh (1886-1945). It considers how women trained and applied skills to illustrate unique and multiple images for Edinburgh's printing and publishing houses. Research by Dr Elizabeth Cumming into the Arts and Crafts Movement in Edinburgh, studies by Professor Janice Helland of Professional Women Artists in Scotland and work by Professor Sian Reynolds into the cultural industries in Edinburgh, provide fundamental models of enquiry into women's occupations in this period. The following chapters discuss the ways in which women presented images of themselves. They generated images in book form, in design, illustration and the interpretation of texts. Nineteenth century debates about the necessity of roles for women in art, education, religion and politics challenged gendered norms of the political culture. In order to stress the agency o f women illustrators, a s scribes who wrote themselves into their culture, the thesis also marks the currency of changing attitudes about womanhood. Interaction between women as cultural facilitators, campaigners for women's rights and artists as illustrators emerges in a critical phase of Scottish history.

The initial research questions for this practice-based doctoral research project was to ask, "Is it possible to develop a more confident, self-conscious creative voice able to articulate one's identity more clearly through the making of handmade artefacts?"; this thesis applies the methodologies of autoethnography and pedagogy to consider an answer. My original contribution to knowledge through this enquiry is the identification of the ways in which the exploration of identity through autoethnographic, creative and pedagogic methods encourages an expanded field of self-knowledge, self-confidence and sense of creative self.

Willis, Fleming Harry. "Artist, tower, books : the memory theatre of Richard Cockle Lucas." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2016. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/21400/.
Full textAbstract:
Richard Cockle Lucas (1800-1883) has been remembered for forging a Leonardo and marrying a fairy. This distorting vision, juxtaposed with his protean versatility and originality, makes Lucas an awkward subject for historiography to get a hold on. Lucas was a sculptor, printmaker, photographer, model maker, architect, performer, writer. From 1854, at Chilworth near Southampton he constructed two idiosyncratic Towers, each as his home, studio, gallery, and observatory. Proceeding from the thematic frame of Lucas as a tower builder and dweller, this study makes the first integrated examination of Lucas as a multimedia artist. It identifies that at the Tower(s) a major shift occurred in his practice: the placing of himself within the subject matter of his art, together with a preoccupation with notions of self, mind, and consciousness. Through the disciplinary sight lines of cultural history and the history of architecture in its broadest formulation (after Dana Arnold and Andrew Ballantyne), the study draws on conceptions of the relationship between architecture and metaphysical thought, notably Frances Yates and Gaston Bachelard on, respectively, magical and poetic space. The study conceptualises the realm of Lucas’s Tower and his ‘monumental’ books (scrapbooks and albums) collectively as a ‘memory theatre’. Employing this occult paradigm and spatial metaphor, it argues that the Tower was a strategic enterprise of knowledge and inspiration, self-memory and self-realisation. Lucas’s practice is found to raise intriguing questions about the dialectics between space, body, and mind in the nineteenth-century and beyond. Using Lucas’s untapped archive and writings, the main body of the study offers a layered series of findings and speculations around the themes of: nature, the view, and the miniature model; symbolism, mysticism, and (meta)fiction; and providence, posterity, and intersubjectivity. In the process, it brings to light connections with other noteworthy histories, such as Lucas’s work as a scale modeller for John Nash and with John Flaxman. In conclusion, the study suggests that Lucas is a significant and transitional creative figure who prefigured later developments and syntheses in the expanded and emerging fields of art and psychology. Finally, it exposes binary oppositions troubled by Lucas that persist through to the present-day within/between the natural sciences and the humanities, on issues of rationality, objectivity, truth.

Full textAbstract:
A partir da premissa de que a subjetivação seja o lugar do autor e baseados nos três domínios abordados na obra de Michel Foucault: Arqueologia, Genealogia e Ética, empreendemos uma investigação acerca dos modos de subjetivação de artistas, artistas gráficos e designers por meio dos elementos próprios da autoria, como as relações de saber, poder e o chamado cuidado de si (este último como parte do pensamento foucaultiano em torno da hermenêutica do sujeito). Instigava-nos entender o fator desencadeante para o estabelecimento de subjetividades que pareciam se dar a partir de uma teia de condutas próprias àqueles campos e constituídas, portanto, em torno de relações de saber e poder, específicas. Assim sendo, ampliamos tal compreensão da autoria, expandindo-a junto à noção de gênio de Immanuel Kant e que se baseia na ideia da criação de regras e preceitos. Introduzimos, junto a isso, os fundamentos do pensamento de Foucault em torno das práticas discursivas - utilizados ao longo do trabalho, a fim de promover uma investigação do sujeito em posição autor e daquilo que determina sua elaboração de regras de funcionamento do discurso. Posto isto, objetivamos investigar os sujeitos - artistas, artistas gráficos e designers -, como autores, por meio de seus mecanismos de saber e de suas relações de poder, o que foi feito a partir de suas subjetividades, compreendidas por meio de sua autoridade na criação de regras de conduta. Para tal, buscando entender os modos de constituição da subjetivação do autor, baseados nestas condutas, perguntamos: quais são os modos pelos quais o sujeito autor estabelece regras para si e para os outros? A fim de delimitar tal campo problemático, dividimos este trabalho em quatro capítulos, os dois primeiros discutem os modos de subjetivação do autor a partir dos domínios focaultianos vinculados às relações de poder e saber e o terceiro e o quarto capítulos utilizam-se do domínio da obra de Foucault relativo à Ética, em que tratamos do chamado cuidado de si. No último capítulo, traçamos tal reflexão a partir da produção de um Livro de artista intitulado O livro por vir, que tem como propósito representar alegoricamente o espaço da discursividade por meio de um conjunto de enunciados determinados por justaposição, relações de poder e saber e pela produção de subjetividades.Based on the premise that subjectivity is the author\'s place and based on the three domains addressed in Michel Foucault\'s work: Archeology, Genealogy and Ethics, we undertake an investigation about the subjectivities modes of artists, graphic artists and designers through the elements, as well as the relations of knowledge, power and the so-called self-care (the last as part of Foucault\'s thinking about the hermeneutics of the subject). It instigated us to understand the triggering factor for the establishment of subjectivities that seemed to occur from a web of conduct proper to those fields and created, therefore, around specific relations of knowledge and power. Thus, we extend this understanding of authorship, expanding it along with Immanuel Kant\'s notion of genius, which is based on the idea of the creation of rules and precepts. We introduced, in addition to this expansion, the foundations of Foucault\'s thinking around the discursive practices - which were used throughout the work, in order to promote an investigation of the subject, in the author´s position, and of what determines its elaboration of rules of discourse functioning. Thus, we aimed to investigate the subjects - artists, graphic artists and designers -, as authors, by their mechanisms of knowledge and their power relations, which was done from their subjectivities and their authority in creating rules of conduct. In order to understand the modes of constitution of the subjectivities of the author, based on these behaviors, we asked: what are the ways in which the author establishes rules for himself and for others? In order to delimit such problematic field, we divided this work in four chapters: the first two discuss the author\'s subjectivities modes from the Foucaultian domains linked to the relations of power and knowledge, and the third and fourth chapters use the domain of Foucault\'s work on Ethics, dealing with the socalled self-care. In the last chapter, we draw this reflection by the production of an artist\'s book entitled The book to come, whose purpose is to represent allegorically the space of discursiveness by means of a set of statements determined by juxtaposition, relations of power and knowledge and by the production of subjectivities.

Resumo: Nesta pesquisa estudo e analiso alguns exemplares de livros de artista dos artistas plásticos Luise Weiss e Feres Khoury. Para tanto, a pesquisa detém-se, inicialmente, no estudo da evolução do objeto livro, arquetípico e tracional e as transformações ocorridas em sua forma e na concepção da página - seu elemento primordial - decorrentes do uso de materiais e tecnologias diversas; para depois buscar algumas definições contemporâneas sobre "livro de artista". A intenção destes estudos foi a absorção e apropriação das características fundamentais do livro: objeto portável que reune folhas presas à uma capa, característica esta que induz a um sistema de leitura próprio e as possíveis transgressões e inovações que o livro de artista pode propor ao "pensar" sobre o objeto. Essa pesquisa permitiu a análise dos exemplares escolhidos e sua relação com a manutenção ou não das características fundamentais do objeto livro
Abstract: In this research I study and analyze some examples of artist books by artists Luise Weiss and Feres Khoury. Therefore, the research holds up, initially to study the evolution of the book object, archetypal and traditional and the changes occurring in its form and design the page - its primordial element - from the use of different materials and technologies; and then seek some contemporary definitions of "artist book". The intent of these studies was the absorption and appropriation of the fundamental features of the book: portable object that gathers pages attached to the cover, a characteristic that induces a proper system of reading and possible transgressions and innovations that the artist¿s book may propose to "thinking" about the object. This study allowed the analysis of selected specimens and its relation to the maintenance or not of the fundamental characteristics of the object book
