Fórum Permanente Arte Contemporânea and Museum
Artists’ Publications
#01. Mapping the territory: research into the artist’s book in Portugal

FPACM* is a space for discussion and exchange of experiences that aims to contribute to the construction and/or development of reflective practices and knowledge about the musealization of contemporary art.

The series of sessions dedicated to Artists’ Publications proposes to problematize the artist’s book and, more generally, the artist’s publication as a category of contemporary art, focusing on its process of musealization/institutionalization by art libraries, centers and museums. It thus seeks to contribute to the identification and critical approach of issues raised during this process: the concept of the artist’s book itself; the management policies of collections of this nature; the narratives and exhibition discourses; the physical and symbolic place occupied by artists’ publications in contemporary museums.

*It is part of the research project “Artists’ Publications in the Museum” currently being developed by Dr. Elisa Noronha, a contract researcher at CITCEM.
