The Extended Ear: An Artist Book Fair

I am excited to share that you will be able to find, At Finger’s End, a collaborative book I made with artist Tanner Lind included in Carnation Contemporary’s artist book fair curated by Hannah Newman and Kris Blackmore.

“The Extended Ear: An Artist Book Fair celebrates and questions the act of publication. At a time when everyone is making a podcast, releasing a vlog, or starting a newsletter, what does it mean to publish? What does it mean to publicly memorialize our thoughts, and why are artists in particular drawn to this act, whether through print, image, video, or sound? What is it about the art making process that so often leads to an output through print and language? Part of language’s power is in its ability to rapidly replicate, but does publishing become more or less powerful with access provided by social platforms and self-publishing options? Why is it culturally important to have a distinctive voice? And if everyone is talking, who is listening?”
