This anthology of articles selected from The Journal of Artists' Books contains some of the best critical writing on artists' books produced in the last quarter of a century. Driven by the editorial vision of artist Brad Freeman, JAB began as a provocative pamphlet and expanded to become a significant journal documenting artists' books from multiple perspectives. With its range of participants and approaches, JAB provided a unique venue for sustained critical writing in the field and developed a broad subscriber base among institutional and private collectors and readers. More than two hundred writers and artists from nearly two dozen countries around the globe were published in its pages.
The JAB Anthology contains contributions by many renowned figures in the field including: Anne Moeglin-Delcroix, Janet Zweig, Monica Carroll, Adam Dickerson, Alisa Scudamore, Mary Jo Pauly, April Sheridan, Doro Boehme, Gerrit Jan de Rook, Océane Delleaux, Brandon Graham, Jérôme Dupeyrat, Ward Tietz, Paulo Silveira, Philip Cabau, Leszek Brogowski, Lyn Ashby, Tim Mosely, Debra Parr, Pedro Moura, Levi Sherman, Catarina Figueiredo Cardoso, Isabel Baraona, and the editors.
Johanna Drucker is a scholar, critic, and book artist who lives in Los Angeles, California. She is the Breslauer Professor of bibliography and Distinguished Professor of information studies at UCLA. Drucker's The Century of Artists' Books remains a key reference text in the field.
Brad Freeman has worked in the field of artist book production and education while working at the Visual Studies Workshop Press, Pyramid Atlantic, Nexus Press, and the Center for Book and Paper Arts / Columbia College Chicago. Freeman lives in Chicago, Illinois. |
