The Liberated Page is an international union based in Geneva, Switzerland which aims to support and promote the critical and intellectual dissemination of
artists' books and
independent editions across the world. The union organises and conceives a number of events, conferences, and exhibitions which highlights new practices within contemporary art publication and new forms of artists books made and published worldwide in various disciplines. The first exhibition was entitled “Blank Book Makers” and was held at the Fonderie Kugler, Geneva in 2012 and followed by “The Liberated Page” at Le Commun in 2014 and “The Next Page 2016” in New York at MoMA PS1. The union is also a communal
archive of books and bookworks, which is in continual evolution and construction.
