YOUNG ARTISTS' BOOKS PROJECT

デジタル技術、機器の進化により、嘗て考えられなかったほど本作りか容易になり、アーティストブックという新しいジャンルが若い世代のアーティスト達を中心に世界的に広がろうとしています。このプログラムは、本というパブリックなメディアからプライベートなメディアへのあらたな展開へのプロジェクトです。

アーティストが自らのメッセージを伝える方法として、本という形態はコミュニケーションメディアそのものである事。そしてアーティストによりマルチプルなかたちで様々な少量生産の魅力的な本が生み出されていく可能性があること。それは、従来の発行部数によって全てが決まるパブリシティーの世界(パブリックなメディア世界)へ個から発したプライベートなメディアが豊かに入り込んでいく可能性を意味します。

プログラムは毎年11月 ペッハーズギャラリーのReading展でスタートし、翌年1月 紀伊國屋書店南店を経て、3月ニューヨーク、NY紀伊國屋書店をはじめトレンドエリア数カ所の書店でと、日本のアーティストブックの形成と普及に向けてプレゼンテーションするトラベリングプロジェクトです。

With the development of digital technology and machinery, bookmaking has become unthinkably easy compared to the past. The genre of artists' books, primarily made by young artists, is spreading globally. This project focuses on artists who are taking the book, a conventionally public medium, and turning into a private one. 

Today, the book form is an important communication medium for artists and it is possible for artists to produce multiple books of interest in small editions. This shift signifies the possible transformation of bookmaking from the realm of publicity, which privileged circulation figures to a private medium that emphasizes personal expression. 

This program began with the Reading exhibition, which was held annually at Pepper's Gallery in November. The exhibition then evolved into an internationally traveling project designed to introduce artists’ books by Japanese artists to the world. The resulting YOUNG ARTISTS’ BOOKS FAIR was held at Books Kinokuniya in Takashimaya Times Square Shinjuku in January  and at Kinokuniya Bookstore and three other bookstores, specializing in art and artists' books, in trendy neighborhoods in New York in March.
