About this activity.
Travel is a theme with a long history of artists going out into the world for inspiration, to gain new knowledge or techniques, or where the journey itself becomes the work of art. When artists travel, their specialty consists in being able to record the new experiences. In this regard, the book is an excellent means of recording and presenting journeys with a particular (artistic) purpose. By bringing together findings and finds collected during the journey, by the idea of time and distance that arises when browsing and the handiness with which it can be taken by the artist during their travels. Through travel, one immediately notices the differences from one's own familiar surroundings. The climate, the living habits, the sight, everything is different and almost everyone notes those differences in one form or another. Travel is a discovery of the unknown but also a reflection on the familiar.

Stichting ARTisBOOK.
Stichting ARTisBOOK is een onderzoeks- en presentatieruimte voor hedendaagse kunstenaarsboeken en haar makers. In samenwerking met de kunstenaars creëren we programma’s waarin gastvrijheid, collectiviteit, experimenteren en kennisuitwisseling centraal staan. We dagen de kunstenaar uit ‘te spelen met ideeën over het kunstenaarsboek’ en nieuwe relaties te onderzoeken tussen hun werk en het publiek.
Door onze samenwerking met andere ruimtes en organisaties ontstaan er kruisbestuivingen en nieuwe mogelijkheden om ons programma met een breed publiek te ontwikkelen en te onderzoeken. Als kenniscentrum voorzien we studenten en kunstenaars van advies, ons archief is publiekelijk toegankelijk en er worden gesprekken en gastlessen met de exposerende kunstenaars georganiseerd.
