Does the volume of a book obstruct the view?

From its inscription within the rigid aesthetic hierarchies of classical antiquity and early modern thought, which enforced a strict philosophical separation between word and image rooted in Platonic thought, through its radical reconfiguration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the artist’s book has progressively emerged as an expanded and heterogeneous artistic field in which textual, visual, material, and conceptual registers are continuously entangled and critically renegotiated.              

But how can the artist’s book continue to matter within today’s digitally saturated environment, shaped by algorithms, platforms, and planetary-scale computation, where linear reading gives way to simultaneity, networks, and database logic? Can it still be conceived as an autonomous, physically resistant medium, or must it instead be rethought as a critical interface mediating between image and text, materiality and immateriality, archive and cloud? It is precisely these questions, concerning the survival, transformation, and renewed agency of the artist’s book within today’s cybernated mediascape, that the group exhibition ΙΣΤΟΣ / WEB – Contemporary Artists’ Books seeks to pose and to explore through the works of the sixteen participating artists. - read more
