How do we recognise an artist’s book
when it becomes an expanded practice?
Is the same method of sourcing, research
and display of materials used
in books and collections alike?
Can the space where the book is
made and exhibited
be considered an artist’s museum?
These were my initial questions
when I saw the Blackchapel bookwork
at the msdm house-studio-gallery.
