Welcome to the bookshop! Making books with artists is central to the Carpenter Center’s mission.
Our publishing program complements our commission-based curatorial program, with a focus on new scholarship and texts, and an artist-involved design process. We publish a few books a year, and release a new tote bag design annually, so please check back for new totes and titles!
In Conversation, 2020–2021: Dialogues with Artists, Curators, and Scholars
In Conversation, 2020–2021: Dialogues with Artists, Curators, and Scholars compiles deep-dive conversations originally broadcast live on Zoom during the height of the pandemic. This vital collection emerges now as a time capsule of sorts, charting the practices of artists and their interlocutors as they grappled with profound social rupture.
