- Class Notes:
- Artists Publications: Printed Ephemera, Public Projects, Engaged Multiples In this course, students will explore publishing as an artistic practice designing their own content and ephemera. This course teaches a hybrid of manual and digital skills across technologies. The course will include skills in risograph printing, InDesign file set ups, on demand publishing, and book binding while delving into the conceptual possibilities of artist publications. Coursework will employ digital print equipment: large format inkjet, laserjet, and risograph printing, with the possibility to explore manual print media into projects. We will visit special collections to view artist publications throughout history and discuss the contemporary landscape of artist publications, artist run presses, and artist book and zine fairs. While discussing the artist book as a traditional art object, we will also look at the artist publication and the artist multiple in a full spectrum of media from digital editions, installation, performance, sculptural works, and publications in social practice. We will look at activist art, mail art, performance ephemera and strategies artists have used across time to activate multiples on paper. We will explore how printed ephemera and archives have been essential to communities of queer and BIPOC artists and activists and how musuems and libraries are archiving non-traditional and ephemeral printed materials. We will view, discuss, and respond creatively to works from UMN Library including the Givens Archive of African American Literature, The Tretter Collection in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies and Special Collections Artists Books.
