A.R.T. 2024 Artist Honoree Julie Ault on the vital role of books
"A primary function of a book is the possibility for continuation. Books distribute with a wider ranging reach and have an enduring material life. Working on a publication that I hope will be around for years, perhaps longer, prompts me to grow and deepen my inquiry into a subject matter and further test the ideas, findings, and modes of articulation I use. I also appreciate that books can provide a private one-on-one experience."
