Volumes (Of Vulnerability)

"This millennial project brings together two ideas, measurement and risk, at one location : the book - and its relatives" -- Clive Phillpot's essay; "Twenty artists have worked within a modesty of scale and budget, using aspects of the book (sequence, surprise, narrative, tactatility & performativity) to iterate vulnerability" -- Susan Johanknecht and Katharine Meynell' s introduction

Booktrek. Selected Essays on Artists' Books (1972-2010)

"A former librarian at Chelsea School of Art in London, Phillpot became Director of the Library at the MoMA in New York in 1977, and mapped out the field of artists' books from an institutional point of view. Collaborating with Printed Matter and Franklin Furnace among other places dedicated to the medium of the book, Phillpot helped raise awareness to these objects, while giving them the necessary credentials to enter museums" -- p.
