This unique exhibition also invites viewers into the process of creating artists’ books by showcasing some of the printmaking and hand binding techniques IS Projects provides to its artists through behind the scenes materials like printing plates, early maquettes, original drawings, color swatches, and more! Museum goers are encouraged to create their own artists’ books with a simple book binding activity and a stamping station within the exhibition. 

The beauty of the Existent Books project is that each artist is given complete freedom when translating their existing practice into a book format. Artists are tasked with examining how their paintings or sculptures can be transformed within a bound structure. As they explore narrative and sequence, each resulting book is as unique as the world in which they came from. Viewers are welcomed to experience these worlds unfolding as each artist’s typical, existing practice is displayed alongside their artists’ books in the museum.
