Description: Unbound is an artist project/book I started writing and making in early 2015 during my final undergraduate semester in Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Between researching, writing, photographing, and designing, the book outgrew one semester and became a post-grad project. Clocking in at just over 350 pages, Unbound is now all written, designed, and ready for distribution for educational purposes. Unbound is a comprehensive survey of eight historical and nine contemporary serial artists' publications. The reader is not focused on artists' books or typical art magazines. The serial publishing projects in Unbound are themselves art/design - the publication is the art, rather than the publication covering art criticism or reviews. The historical publications include Aspen, Fluxus Editions, the Great Bear Pamphlets, the Gutai Journal, the International Society of Copier Artists (or ISCA) Quarterly, Radical Software, SMS aka Shit Must Stop, and the Zero Group's printed matter. The contemporary publications include Esopus, North Drive Press (or NDP), Printed Web, SP Weather Station, The Thing Quarterly, This is a magazine, Visionaire, Works That Work, and YTB Zine.-from editor's web page.
