This is a Magazine: Compendium 5: Who I Think I Am

This book demands interaction! The possibilities read like a laundry list for all of the physical things that can be done with paper, or to a book. The reader is invited not only to look, but to fold pages, tear out pages, draw on removable cards, fill out an artist's survey, then mail it in. There are stickers, postcards, bookmarks, posters and even a face mask. This is a Magazine: Compendium 5includes more than 200 color pages of artworks by 40 different artists, each inviting their own particular kind of engagement. 150 pages have been cut, sliced, diced, scored, folded and then stitch-bound into a hardcover book with a giant, laminated, do-it-yourself paper sculpture posing as a dust jacket. With inventions and contributions by Jennifer Dalton, Antonio Riello, Jim Punk, Joanna Beaumont and David Shrigley, among others, this is an instant collectible.

David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield, in the United Kingdom. Now based in Glasgow, Scotland, he has shown his work in solo exhibitions at the Camden Arts Center in London; the Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles; Anton Kern Gallery in New York; and the Bard Center for Curatorial Studies in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
