hard copy

Hard Copy is an innovative research and publishing platform that aims to reflect on artist books and printmaking, central to emerging artistic and design practices. Initiated in 2010 by artist, curator and tutor Delphine Bedel, this three-year practice and theory-based project is conceived for the Master of Fine Arts WORK.MASTER at the Geneva University of Art and Design. Hard Copy explores the space of a book and formats of display, editorial concepts, extended printing techniques, graphic design and typographic researches. By publishing artist books and multiples and curating exhibitions, workshops and lectures series with keynote speakers (Seth Siegelaub, Bruno Ceschel, Dexter Sinister, etc), Hard Copy aims to contextualize and expand this research historically and theoretically.

Hard Copy @ICP Triennial, New York! Opening May 17th, 2013

We are happy to be part of the ICP Triennial with a selection of 12 hard copy editions! Every three years, ICP's curators round up some of the most interesting contemporary photography and video works from around the world. The 2013 Triennial, A Different Kind of Order, focuses on artworks created in our current moment of widespread economic, social, and political instability. The exhibition will include 28 international artists who employ photography, film, video, and interactive media. Many of their works reflect the growing importance of new paradigms associated with digital image making and network culture. A Different Kind of Order is organized by Kristen Lubben, Christopher Phillips, Carol Squiers, and Joanna Lehan.

Photobooks

The Triennial also includes an installation of self-published and independently published photobooks. Download a checklist (PDF) of all the titles.
