Join the New York Chapter of ARLIS/NA for a visit to Small Edition's studio in Brooklyn! Small Editions director Hannah Yukiko Pierce will give a brief tour of the studio before presenting a selection of publishing titles, including two new projects that have not yet been publicly announced. Following that, there will be a Q & A session, and time to further explore the studio's library and publications.
Small Editions is a graphic design studio, print consultancy, and artists' book publisher led by Hannah Yukiko Pierce and Isobel Chiang. The studio also offers workshops and hosts public programming on print and publishing-related topics throughout the year.
Small Editions' publishing program centers the book as a form of art, as opposed to the book as a vehicle for art. Through each of their projects with early to mid-career artists, they seek to explore the book's role in contemporary art by combining traditional bookbinding techniques with experimental materials and multi-media construction methods. Editions range from 2 to 500, and are all bound by hand.
Small Editions’ books are held in publicly accessible collections at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, The Walker Art Center, Harvard University, Yale University, RISD, and MICA, among others.
This studio visit will be capped at 15 participants and registration is limited to members of ARLIS/NA's New York Chapter.
If you have any questions about the visit, feel free to reach out to Joey Vincennie, Programming Coordinator at vincennie@frick.org.
