Books live their lives. They are pored over, discussed, exchanged, and marked up—each page striving to create a bond between the artist and the reader. Unlike the standard temporal exhibition, the artist book and its ideas are continuously reimagined, producing direct experiences with new publics. For 26 years Nexus Press brought the world to the South and the South out to the world. The exhibition Endless Road: A Look at Nexus Press will be the first comprehensive presentation at Atlanta Contemporary Art Center to explore Nexus Press’ pioneering work producing artists’ books. An early adopter of experimental offset printing, the Press traversed the unknown creating books, posters, flyers, and statements that lived and live beyond their covers.
