ABC Artists’ Books Cooperative

ABC [Artists’ Books Cooperative] is an international group of artists, publishers, and educators seeking to create, engage, and experiment with the form of the book, and to foster alternative forms of distribution through collaboration. As well as working on our own practices, we work together to produce collective projects. Centered on book fairs and our online forum, we aim to develop a growing international network of artists.

ABC Stampa is a project by Artists’ Books Cooperative which pays homage to Ulises Carrión’s collectively produced but unfinished Stampa Newspaper.

As with Carrión’s original, artists were invited to contribute a design for a rubber stamp and to mark where on a sheet of newspaper paper they would like their stamp to be placed. As a result, two or more artists could request the same space, therefore inviting chance and coexistence to also be collaborators on the project.

As with many of ABC’s recent works, other artists were invited to participate, and we are excited to be working with new friends from Venezuela, France, Indonesia, Peru, Canada and Lebanon amongst other countries.
