Under kursen diskuteras och analyseras olika former av Artists' books, magasin och webprojekt. Kursen är projektbaserad där det ingår att producera en kollektiv publikation. Kunskapen byggs på de diskussioner som förs utifrån referensmaterial och de medverkande studenternas egna bidrag. This course provides students with an opportunity to explore the way artists have used publishing as an art making strategy and as an alternative and as an additional support to exhibition practices. The course also looks at the ways in which artists collaborate and take control of the means of distribution of their work. The course considers what the role of the public is in the development of experimental contemporary art. Students collaborate on the conception, development, design and completion of a collective publication as a form of artistic expression.
