Print: The Book about the Art Book

Okay, try to follow along. A few months ago I wrote about an edition-of-one art book I’d been sending around to a variety of artists. The idea is the book arrives, you work on it, instructed that nothing is sacred, … Read More

Print: 30FPS with Jeff Frost

Print: “Apparatus” by Lawrence Fodor

Larry Fodor is one of those guys that drives me crazy, in a good way. I’ve interviewed and featured Larry on the site before, and I’m sure I will again. He’s an artist and bookmaker and is incredibly inspiring. I’ve … Read More

Dispatches: Edouard Duval-Carrie´

I surrendered before it even began. “I can’t speak to you about art,” I said to Edouard Duval-Carrie´as he stood in the doorway of his studio in Miami’s Little Haiti district. Kaufman and I had ambushed Edouard the day before, … Read More

Dispatches: Remo Giuffre´
