BookArtObject was conceived as an ongoing, loose collective of artists working with the idea of the book, like a ‘book club’. Each “Edition” responds to a text, with each participant formulating their own response and making an edition that is shared with others in the group, exhibited and sold.
From its first Edition of Australian poet Rosemarie Dobson’s Learning Absence with nine participants, BookArtObject has grown to be an internationally recognised collective that has exhibited around the world. Edition Four engaged with 82 artists in 16 countries to make over 100 books!
In each Edition, the text is proposed by a member of the collective, permission is sought from the copyright owner, and the author is presented with a complete set of the resulting books.
