The Riso Book: Los Angeles

Colpa presents The Riso Book: Los Angeles, the first installment in The Riso Book series. This series standardizes the conditions of production underlying artist publications and presents the book as exhibition. 

The 5 selected artists will work over the course of four days at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, using the Risograph as a tool. Each artist is given 20 pages within the 8.5 x 11 inch book and provided with assistance from an on-site tech and publisher. All 100 pages will be bound into a single publication in an edition of 100, to be presented at on Saturday April 26, 2014, 6–9 PM. 

The Riso Book series is inspired by Seth Siegelaub and Jack Wendler's 1968 publication The Xerox Book. This project is made possible due to the help and support of The Los Angeles Contemporary Archive and Matthew Schum (Publication Studio, LA).

Opening Reception: 
Saturday, April 26th 6-9 pm
