15.12.2015 — Circuit, Avenue de Montchoisi 9, 1001 Lausanne
The complete series of Boabooks artists’ notepads brings together the reprints of 28 artists' books in the form of a writing pad, which were published by Boabooks between 2008 and 2011. The individual blocks each contain a 20 page contribution by an artist. The individual image and text contributions are separated by a blank sheet of paper, so that short breaks are created when turning the pages or space is left for the reader's notes. For this reprint we have omitted the blank pages. Nevertheless, the paperback book has 1216 pages.
This publication brings together the complete series for the first time and allows the reader to follow the development of the series and the wide range of contributions in a condensed form. The artists featured are Pierre-Olivier Arnaud, Léopold Banchini, Carola Bonfili, Susanne Bürner, Isabelle Cornaro, Jérémie Gindre, Nicolas Giraud, Laurent Kropf, Stéphane Le Mercier, Anne Minazio, Aurélien Mole, Olivier Mosset, Samuel Osterman, Yann L. Popper, Frédéric Post, Fabienne Radi, Christophe Rey, Tatiana Rihs, Christian Robert-Tissot, Derek Sullivan, Lance Wakeling, Eric Watier, Christine Würmell, Zhang Xiao.
