The Riso Book: Portland
Modou Dieng Bean Gilsdorf Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen Lisa Radon Blair Saxon-Hill Colpa, in collaboration with Publication Studio Portland presents The Riso Book: Portland, the fourth installment in The Riso Book series. This series standardizes the conditions of production underlying artist publications and presents the book as exhibition. The 5 selected artists worked over the course of six days at Publication Studio, using the Risograph as a tool. Each artist was given 20 pages within the 8.5 x 11 inch book and provided with assistance from an on-site tech and publisher. All 100 pages were bound into a single publication in an edition of 100, presented at Publication Studio Portland on Saturday, June 27th 2014.The Riso Book series is inspired by Seth Siegelaub and Jack Wendler's 1968 publication The Xerox Book. This project is made possible due to the help and support of Kadist and Ian Dolton-Thronton (Publication Studio, Oakland).
