Every year, we select two to three artists to create a special edition of artists' books — each just 4 x 4 inches and limited to 100 copies. We provide workspace, studio access, technical support, and a materials stipend to help bring each project to life.
Since the program launched in 2008, more than 40 editions have been created. This year, we’re is excited to be working with artists Quinn Keck, Grendl Löfkvist, and Rachel Phillips. Join us to get a first look, to purchase your copy in the Biblioshop, and to celebrate these amazing editions!
Meet the Artists
Quinn Keck
Quinn is a multidisciplinary artist who investigates concepts in sociology, physics, technology and philosophy. Working across printmaking, artists books, creative coding, and installation, their work discusses memory, perception and grief through questioning the manifestation of systems. They look beyond the arithmetic to dissect the axioms that define what is rational, logical and natural.
Grendl Löfkvist
Grendl is the Director of Type West, Letterform Archive’s yearlong program in type design. She is also an instructor at SFCB, CCSF, and Sierra College, and has taught workshops at Stanford University, Wells College, and Pixar. Grendl has ink in her veins; she loves to print!
Rachel Phillips
Rachel is a visual artist, writer, book artist, educator and arts administrator based in Pacifica, CA. Her work often incorporates historical and vernacular materials, including many found photographs. Growing up in the Bay Area, the impact of technology on ecology and culture, as seen through a feminist lens, is often a theme in her work.
