The Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference is a dynamic, two-day event focused on emerging practices and debates within art-book culture. This year’s conference will feature keynote addresses by art historian Lucy Lippard and artist-publisher Paul Chan, as well as sessions covering a broad array of subjects, including: appropriation-based artwork, intellectual property, and copyright law; arts-publishing practices in Tokyo, Taipei and Seoul; sound-and-text intermedia publication; and graphical notation. A complete schedule is now available online.

All sessions are free but space is limited. Guarantee your reserved seat for each keynote address with the purchase of an advanced ticket, available on Printed Matter’s website here: Paul Chan (Friday, Sept. 28) and Lucy Lippard (Saturday, Sept. 29).

New book to benefit the Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference
Each year the Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference commissions a new artists’ book as part of its program. Previously commissioned artists include Dexter Sinister, David Horvitz, and Emily Roysdon, and last year’s “assembled magazine” Adventures. This year, Estonian artist Triin Tamm will create a new book in collaboration with Rollo Press (Switzerland). Sales of the book will help to support free admission to the Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference for all visitors. For more information, call (212) 925-0325 or write shannon [​at​] printedmatter.org.

The Conference is organized by the CABC Committee, a national group of art library professionals. Funding for the Conference is supported by generous donations from Philip Aarons and Shelley Fox Aarons, Peter Norton, and David Teiger.
