Artists' Books
For 37 years, Visual Studies Workshop (VSW) Press has been a crucible of experimentation that has helped to define and shape the contemporary artists' book scene. Having published more than 450 titles, the best of VSW Press' production has set the standard for what an artist can do in the codex form. This bibliography, annotated by the artists who made the work, provides an opportunity to review the press' exemplary body of work and the rare chance to hear from the artists themselves. The legacy of the VSW Press has yet to fully be grasped; this volume is the first step in defining that history, allowing us to begin to reflect on its merits and achievements. This well-considered boxed volume is edited by VSW founder Joan Lyons, with an introduction by writer Johanna Drucker, one of the field's foremost experts.
Visual Studies Workshop Press
This applied thesis project deals with a selection of fifty books published by the Visual Studies Workshop (VSW) Press in the 1970s and 1980s. The selection of books can be found in the Independent Press Archive that is currently held in the Research Center at the Visual Studies Workshop (VSW) in Rochester N.Y. The objective for this applied project is to facilitate access and describe the selection of books through the construction of a website. The thesis is divided into two parts, a website description of the books and an analytical paper. The website will allow for visual access to some important experiments with the book format, analog experiments that were revolutionary in their time. The analytical paper includes a discussion of the decisions made while selecting and digitizing the books for the website. This thesis project will add to the current knowledge about VSW Press by providing a snapshot view of how the book format was utilized by artists and students working at VSW at a particular moment in history, a historical period in which photography media and publication were undergoing a time of remarkable growth.
