What are artists' publications and what does one recognise them by?
Bibliographers, librarians, archivists and collection managers of visual arts museums are regularly confronted with this question.
At the request of the Middelheim Museum, artist Nico Dockx and art historian Johan Pas (from the ArchiVolt research group of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp) undertook a physical screening of the museum library's collection of monographic art books and artists' publications.
Through conversations with artists, designers, publishers and collectors, they will examine the phenomenon of the artists' publication from various perspectives.
As part of their research project A Kind Of a 'Huh?'*, artist Nico Dockx and art historian Johan Pas engage in a dialogue with Sophie Nys (artist), Evi Bert (coordinator content management M HKA) and Johan Smets (collector).
The presentations and the panel discussion will be about preserving and making accessible, archiving and activating artists' publications, from a public and private point of view as well as from an artistic perspective.
