ABC [Artists’ Books Cooperative] – Miss Read

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 CHOP was a temporary “shop” installed as part of an Artists’ Books Cooperative residency at Acre Studios in Berlin .
CHOP will simultaneously be an art installation, slow book fair and space for happenings such as gatherings and performances organised by the cooperative. The project will be an unboxing of the desires and needs that underpin the retail environment and is the second in a trilogy of exhibitions that focus on the spectacle of the ordinary.
