In addition, the collection of 300 books built up during the project will be
handed over to the Bavarian State Library in Munich for preservation and public use. As part of the Super Books artists’ book fair, PD Dr. Annette Gilbert and project collaborator Andreas Bülhoff will hold a conversation on the artistic potential of print-on-demand, which will be broadcast live on Radio 80000, and present the “Library of Artistic Print on
Demand” as a donation.
