Artist’s Book Revelation

The Artist’s Book Revelation is awarded each year to an emerging artist at the (Made Anywhere) fair, an annual event devoted to contemporary publishing practices. The winner receives €5,000 and a dedicated exhibition at ADAGP, with a critical text or photographs of their work. The Artist’s Book Revelation is awarded in partnership with the (Made Anywhere) fair.

What are the selection criteria?

(Made Anywhere)'s curatorial team will first select 10 to 20 books made by artists meeting the following criteria:

• Be an emerging artist;
• Be part of the French art scene;
• The print run must be between 15 and 1,000 copies;
• Magazines, fanzines and first editions of a current copy are not eligible.

Following the first selection, a jury comprising contemporary art professionals (artists, journalists, critics, institution representatives) will choose the winner. Preselected books will be displayed during the entire run of the fair.

What are the application requirements?

The applications must be submitted in French. The Revelation is awarded to the artist. The application can be submitted by the artist, their publisher or a third party. The process is available on ADAGP's application platform.

(Made Anywhere) responds to a need for encounters around objects that are sources of inspiration, creation, collection and observation; a decompartmentalization of artistic practices that sometimes escape the market and the institution. From research to archiving, creation takes free and inspiring forms, often editorialized: iconography, collections, recordings, notations, publications or archives.
