By Chance: Serendipity and Randomness in Contemporary Artists' Books

By Chance: Serendipity and Randomness in Contemporary Artists' Books

Art History, English

"Accompanies an exhibition of the same title held at Yale University Library, New Haven, Conn., August 12 - November 6, 2002. Colophon: The cover image is a combinatory blind collaboration between Price and Rossman. Each author created an image knowing only that these would be screen-printed, one on top of the other. The order of imposition and ink colors were determined by chance, in this case a throw of the dice. From Jenny-Press website: Chance is often a factor in the creation of artwork. Making books and other artworks by hand allows serendipity and randomness to sneak into their creation. Over the years, many artists have incorporated into their creative process chance operations, randomness, or blind collaboration. In this essay, authors Robin Price and Jae Jennifer Rossman explore several categories of chance processes and elaborate on their use in the work of contemporary book artists. The edition of 300 includes a blind collaboration image on the front cover by the authors. A checklist of the exhibition from which the essay was inspired is available online, as well as in the publication. http://www.jennypress.com/chance.html"
