Summary: MATTER is a collaborative book project between artists Jessica Eaton, Matthew Gamber, Bill Sullivan, graphic designer Mary Voorhees Meehan, and design writer Peter Hall.

Utilizing the book MATTER as a primary template, the subject of this book is a consideration of how photography can create a paradoxical vision of science, information, and history. Written by Ralph Eugene Lapp, a renowned Manhattan Project physicist, Matter was the inaugural title of the Life Science Library Series, first published in 1963. Reinterpreted in a new format, the thematic arc of the original book is echoed, but augmented to highlight photography’s ability to illustrate ideas, rather than explain them.

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
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
