Between 2008 and 2016 I published a series of print-on-demand books exploring and exploiting the potential of the then new technology. Several of my books are included in the Library of Artistic Print on Demand. A correspondent book, edited by Annette Gilbert and Andreas Bülhoff was recently published by Spector Books. The 720 pages tome “maps this experimental field for the first time and explores its global spread, history, contradictions, and political implications. It presents 244 outstanding artistic works and 25 writings from leading practitioners and scholars in the field.” My essay From my Skull is also included in this book.
The complete Library of Artistic Print on Demand is now part of the holdings of Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. Lilian Landes, curator of the library’s artist book collection published an article about the acquisition of my books earlier this year: Zur Theorie des Sammelns und wie sie von der Praxis ausgehebelt wird: Joachim Schmids Gesamtwerk.
