Artists Books
DCA
Dundee
24 November - 1st of December 2012
For Book Week Scotland the DCA presented a display of books, published ephemera and zines all made by artists. The display drew upon works from a number of sources including work from the Centre for Artists’ Books which is based in the Visual Research Centre in the building. This collection has been built up over many years and comprises books made by artists as part of their practice, rather than books about artists.
Alongside these works the display included rare examples of the landmark ‘multimedia magazine in a box' Aspen featuring work by Andy Warhol, Marshall McLuhan and Dan Graham kindly lent to Dundee Contemporary Arts by Heart Fine Art, Edinburgh. There was also a focus on the Dundee quarterly art zine Yuck’n Yum who curated a section of the exhibition, inviting past cover artists and contributors to exhibit work for the show. There was also the unveiling of new books from DCA’s recent exhibitions programme by Ruth Ewan and Torsten Lauschmann.
