Blonde Art Books

Blonde Art Books BLONDE ART BOOKS is a blog, curatorial project, and bookstore focusing on independent publications by artists and small presses.

Blonde Arts Books is dedicated to promoting exceptional independent art publications. The BABS blog features information about artists who are self-publishing, book production resources, and artist and exhibition opportunities. Blonde Art Books curates book-centric exhibitions that examine the connections between traditionally exhibited artwork and the books, magazines, and other printed matter th

at inform and shape their conception. An example of this model of presentation is 'This Summer..." at Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, NY (July 18 – August 3, 2014), 'The scenery changes three times' at Schema Projects, Brooklyn, NY (March 2 – March 31, 2013) and 'Render Visible' at Present Company, Brooklyn, NY. (September 30 – October 28, 2012). From January 2013–January 2014, Blonde Art Books had a temporary shop inside of Schema Projects, a new gallery in Bushwick, New York dedicated exclusively to works of art on paper. In addition, we participate in pop-up bookshop events that feature new independent art publications by contemporary artists and small presses. Established by Sonel Breslav in 2012, Blonde Art Books continues to collect and share independent publications about art, poetry, criticism, and cultural studies. Schema Projects
