Description
Increasingly popular, some artists and book publishers are making “bootleg” versions of photo books and editions that have become rare (and thus hard to find or very expensive). During the Fall 2017 semester, Mays gave the following assignment: “Make a bootleg version of a book from Meyer Library. Take inspiration from the original but make a version that you think is worthy of a re-issue that takes some imaginative liberties with the original. This may/will go beyond a strict ‘bootleg,’ BUT it should definitely go beyond a mere facsimile of the original.”
