Looking telling thinking collecting

For what intrinsic artistic reasons does an artist choose to realise his project as a book?

Through four thematic paths - looking, telling, thinking, collecting - the catalogue delves into the fascinating and still little-known reality of the artist's book, which saw its origins around the 1960s and permeates, almost ‘quietly’, the art world up to the present day.

A surprising artistic experience for its vastness and originality played out on the infinite transformations to which the book-object of art is subjected by artists who are poetically also very distant, but whose elements of continuity are analysed regardless of the singularity of the projects or the changes in the historical and ideological context, in order to trace, in the end, the diachronic constant in the book-object and in its very material structure.
