Curatorial statement from Kestutis Vasiliunas:
The 5th Triennial displays the most interesting artist’s books from all over the world. It is the most wonderful experience to see [the] culture, traditions of different countries, [and] art schools reflected in the artists’ books created by the artists. Paper typographic books and books printed by the use of classic graphic techniques: wood engraving, silk-screen printing or lithography; books printed by mixed techniques by combining possibilities of digital printing with drawing, collage and object; concept and handmade embroidered books; books objects, le parello and Flux books. The key role here is played by the idea which materialises in multidimensional forms, and it is absolutely unimportant what means of expression were used in the book. Thus, whether they are “bibliophilic” books or experimental or books objects, all of them by supplementing each other and contrasting with each other help to reveal miraculous and mysterious world of the artist’s book.
