CREiA::: Creative Attentive Studio for a mindful art practice

deep listening and creative exercises, which have been
inspired equally by mindful art practices and relational
domestic crafts.
Created and piloted in 2020 during lockdown,

isolation and the need for tools that support
a reflective creative practice and guide us

Definition
Artists’ publications include all forms of expression endeavored by artists with potential multiplication
in mind
—released either by the artists themselves, that is,
through self-publication,
or by a publisher...
The term “artists’ publications” is used as an umbrella
phrase for all forms of published artworks.
(over 20 different genres):
artists’ books, multiples, book objects, artists’ newspapers and magazines, ephemera such as posters and invitations designed by artists, photo editions, postcards, stamps, stickers, graphic artworks, Xerox copies, stamp artworks, sound art (on records, cassette tapes, audio CDs), radio art, multimedia editions on CD-ROM and DVD, artists’ videos and films, net art and computer art.
The low pricing of these works has actually been intentional, since anyone interested should have the opportunity to acquire a work of art
The organization of the production, distribution, and sales of reproduced artworks was realized with artistic independence, the autonomy of the artist becoming the declared goal
In addition, cooperative working structures like collaborative artworks, assemblings, and magazines were characteristic for large realms of artistic work.

Study guide on Artists' Books:
Artists' books are books made or conceived by artists.
Artists' books that maintain the traditional structure of
a book are often known as book art or bookworks,
while those that reference the shape of a book are known
as book objects
[[book objects: kyliestillman' s work"]
In the 1950s and 1960s Swiss-German artist Dieter Roth (1930–98) and American artist Ed Ruscha (1937–) created conceptual works which are considered the foundation
of the artists' book genre.
Dieter Roth (1930–98)
examination, through bookworks, of the formal qualities of books themselves.
2 Bilderbücher (1957) consists of two picture books of geometric shapes with die-cut holes cut into each page to allow glimpses of patterns from the pages beneath.
Ed Ruscha (1937–)
The book ... not intended as a means for the reproduction of pre-existing photographs, but rather as an artwork in its own right. As the piece retains the essential characteristics of a book, such as the idea of seriality and sequence provided by the turning of pages, it is considered central to the development of the genre.

‘book arts’: inclusive term under which all those working with the book format, in its many guises, may be classified.
this includes all works surrounding and related to the subject – such as ’zines, multiples, livres de luxe, livres d’artistes, pamphlets, altered and reconfigured books, sculptural works, unique books, downloads, e-books, mobile phone-based books, blogs, Bluetooth, video, podcasts, performance,
and ephemera such as badges, stickers and postcards –and allows the genre to extend its previous limits.
