At VSW we have considered the possibilities of the book as a primary art form since our founding in 1969. The 2010 Photo-Bookworks Symposium addresses a new production generation—in an era with access to print-on-demand and desktop publishing—as an effort to expand the potential for books-as-art. Contemporary print-on-demand technology increases the ability to cheaply print and to self-publish works, but is the distinctive time/space art of the photo-bookwork lost on those using books to display their photographs? In order to expand the potential of the form, we have organized a series of presentations on exemplary photo-bookwork projects by American and international photographic artists, publishers, and historians.
