Admission Info
Please RSVP to Casey Robertson (crobertson@bard.edu) if you would like to attend this event.

In this object-based talk, Jordan Carter will discuss a variety of Fluxus publications and multiples—engaging issues of interactivity, curatorial display, and the facsimile—from CCS Bard’s Special Collections. Additionally, a selection of publications by Conceptual art publisher Seth Siegelaub and artist stanley brouwn will be used as case studies to examine the performative dimension of the artist’s book and the notion of the book-as-exhibition.
