Hi Everyone.I would like to hear people's opinions on Print On Demand and their use and qualification as Artist's Books. I'm currently examining the realm of the Democratic Mulitple and would like…Continue

The show was very inspiring with…"

Robert Heather replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"At Sarah's talks here in Melbourne last year most of the artists' books which she referred to were POD."
Charles Brownson replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"There are damned good PODs and I stand in admiration at the work someone has done to make them, which is considerable. But PODs and artists books can't be theorized in the same way on the basis of good workmanship."
Charles Brownson replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"Surely a fascimile is not the same as the original. The facsimile is a utility, for one thing. It has value, true. So do frauds.

Charles Brownson replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"From within the field of the artists book I do see the POD as a lesser form. Or perhaps irrelevant would be a better word. PODs have qualities all their own and some of them can, or hypothetically could, be well done enough to give pleasure. But the…"
Charles Brownson replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"Pickaxe,
I have concluded that artists books and POD are two different media that don't mix, like toast and enamel. The POD, if you can get one with adequate production values, which I don't believe you can, nevertheless strips away all…"
peter gillies replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"Nice thread, i was looking into this POD myself. And came to this web site. Turns out the term of artists books is altogether different from what I thought it was. But its very interesting & this is a cool web site, I had no idea there were so…"
Pickaxe Publishing replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"For that matter, what would people's opinions of professionally printed and tailored book sbe compared to POD? Where the artist selects paper and has more to do with printing with a professional?

Pickaxe Publishing replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"Thanks Doug, I'll check it out.
Frankly, for me there shouldn't be a distinction between 'real ABs' and facsimile ABs. I don't really see POD as a lesser form at all, just different. Within economic systems like selling and…"
Doug Spowart replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"G'Day Pickaxe,
I've had a piece published in Sarah Bodman's Blue NoteBook that dealt with POD and linked to examples of POD entered in awards like the LIBRIS in Mackay - Check it…"
Moira Brown replied to Pickaxe Publishing's discussion Print On Demand & Artist's Books"I think POD is great- as an obviously different form or version of an Artist's Book. Yes to Democratic Multiples and spreading the "vibe" of the book, while leaving room for the original to be treasured and preserved by those who…"
Pickaxe Publishing replied to Lynda Powney's discussion display books in gallery?"Jasper has a good option, which I have seen a lot for, for viewing at a distance and is great for the web. I wouldn't like to see this in a Library or Gallery, it would just sem to me to be a lesser compromise, or a poor new media work.
I…"
Pickaxe Publishing replied to Lynda Powney's discussion display books in gallery?"Hey Lynda,
I've always been a believer that one of an edition, or perhaps an AP, should be 'sacrificed' to the audience; that handling should be available and encouraged, and if it is a true artists' book, then touch shuld be…"

Hi Pickaxe,
It's great to be able to connect with you through this network - Seems like we may have a link thru Tim Mosely and Southern Cross Uni - We were at the awards announcement for the 2011 Awards on last weekend. Serious bookarts works by Peter Charuk, Peter Lyssiotis+Ann-arie Hunter and Lyn Ashby were collected. A very descriptive catalogue is also availale.
You may like to check out some of our work o Youtube. It hs two 'flipbooks' as movies and a carcamera obscura presentation. SEE
