"Siganto Foundation Research Fellow Dr Lyn Ashby is investigating the artists’ book collection, seeking to discover the many aspects of stories that have been told through the medium of the artists’ book. Here are Lyn’s thoughts as be begins his journey with the artists’ book collection in the Australian Library of Art."
Dr Lyn mentions about artist' books are presented a different formats then ordinary books in may ways. It is a quite interesting an article based research on the story tells the family story.
"Artists’ books might differ from normal books in many ways — from the most obvious aspects of size, binding, material and structure, to the subtlest variations of the expectations of the usual codex form. So, what do such variations do to the story that might be presented in such extraordinary books? Some of the usual qualities inherent in the ordinary book — regular, episodic, sequential page-spread revelation, whether comprising text, image or both — determines in structural ways how its story can be shaped, and even what kind of story can be meaningfully presented in its form. While the ancient medium of the ordinary book has housed our stories and served us well, it has been argued that the artists’ book is a newly significant communications form for representing our contemporary stories."
