An exhibition Catalogue is an accompanying printed publication for a temporary exhibition or installation at a gallery or alternative space. It documents the contents of an exhibition providing a forum for critical dialogue between curators, artists and critics.
LSAD library holds an extensive collection of Artist Catalogues -stored in boxes at the end of the computer bay. Often it is the only printed material on an artist so be sure to 'check them out'....figuratively and physically. We also hold LSAD Graduate show catalogues which provide a very interesting retrospective on students over the years
