They will propose a meeting in person with the acquirer of the edition during which they will complete the contents, for that person only. The reader may consult the publication as is or make an appointment with the choreographers. If the acquirer is a company or institution, the conditions are maintained in an audience format.

Bernhard Cella is interested in the economic and sculptural framework in which artists’ books – highly informed objects in themselves – can be used as artistic materials. To this end, he conceptualized the ’Salon für Kunstbuch’, a life-size model of a bookshop, in his studio in Vienna. Since 2007, more than 14.000 artists' books have accumulated and entered into unfamiliar vicinities and dialogues. www.salon-fuer-kunstbuch.at www.cella.at
