The Evolving Case : Artists’ Books Now and the British Library Jeremy Jenkins, Curator, Contemporary British Published Collections Emerging Formats, British Library
The talk The Evolving Case : Artists’ Books Now and the British Library explores the impact that a series of evenings, Artists’ Books Now had on the British Library. It tracks the collaborative process of bring together artists, their books with researchers, librarians, curators and an audience to ‘think aloud’ about the form. These events we examine how Artist’s Books Now supported and inspired a range of additional events and activities in the wider library developing the subject and leading to exhibits and a greater visibility of the artists’ books within the Collections . Following lockdown the talk will explore how continued collaborations with artists to find a fresh approaches to ensure artists books remain visible at the British Library.
