Summary: “Guide” was conceived and produced as a silhouette to a solo painting exhibition by Champneys Taylor. It was printed in color and features photos taken by the artist with an iPhone and subsequently manipulated using Photoshop. It also features writings (poetry) by the artist. This book contains no images of the paintings which were on view at the exhibition. Rather, it offers an alternate narrative and/or critical intervention into the work in the show and the show itself.

Date and place of birth of photographer/s: 12/29/70, Jacksonville, Florida

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

On May 13, 2012, 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,
