Summary: Geometry has evolved throughout the universe in multitudes of structures both macro and micro, fortifying in an effort to survive. These are visible in forms such as the Fibonacci sequence, logarithmic spirals, and the tendency toward spherical celestial bodies. If one looks closely enough at any living organism, there is an underlying structure working to fortify the organism against outside threats. At the same time in a different scale, one would find mutations, unexplained changes in the way things grow which are essential for variation in life. There is then a need for both structure and predictable repetition; and a need for mutation and seemingly random creations in the cells of life forms. This relationship between chaos and order becomes a mere matter of scale; both exist in the same space but are entirely relative to the viewer´s point of view.

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
