Abstract

Published in 2018, 'Re:Print' is an experimental artists' book, edited by Véronique Chance and Duncan Ganley, that brings together images and text by 20 contributors whose work addresses the role and language of the reproducible image. This article by Duncan Ganley discusses the challenges of translating artworks and text originally presented in the context of an exhibition and symposium, into a work of print an artists' book. The range of contributors emphasizes the diverse scope of forms, processes and ideas in the expanded field of Printmaking. Addressing a variety of approaches to integrating and repurposing this visual and textual material for the printed page, the article outlines the theoretical underpinning of the creation of 'Re:Print' and the editorial and design decisions taken to create a hybridized form that is both document and artwork and aims to draw out new agencies of the 'book' in a digital world.
