Inside the Milberg Gallery: Ulises Carrión: In-Out Productions & In-Out Center
Curated by Sal Hamerman, Metadata Librarian for Special Collections at PUL, and Javier Rivero Ramos, a recent Ph.D graduate from the Department of Art & Archaeology, who is now Assistant Curator at Art Bridges Foundation in Arkansas, the exhibition explores Carrión’s pioneering reinvention of the book as a material and social platform, primarily featuring Princeton’s extensive holdings, drawn from the Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology and PUL’s Special Collections. PUL is steward to one of the most substantial collections of Carrión’s book and mail art in any American library.
In 1972, Ulises Carrión and eight other artists from Latin America, Iceland, and the Netherlands founded the In-Out Center, Amsterdam’s first artist-run contemporary art center. While working at In-Out Center, Carrión acquired a mimeograph machine and began self-publishing his own artists’ books, or “bookworks,” as he called them, under the imprint he co-founded, In-Out Productions.
