Do you know what a book is? 4th year of “The Book: Imaginary Studio, A Non Stop Process” @ ICP-Bard MFA Program is starting from January 20th! thebookstudio: Covers of my book “The Desire to leave a Mark” at the ICP 2012 Winter Catalog This January will be my fourth year teaching the seminar “The Book: Imaginary Studio, A Non Stop Process”At the ICP-Bard MFA Advanced Photographic Studies Program in New York City.   What do I teach? I teach the history of the book, construction, editing and design but the ultimate goal of the class is to ask new questions, stimulate conversations and ultimately to communicate with our communities. If you ask someone if they know what a book is? Their answer probably will be yes I know! And that will be the end of the conversation. They are using over and over again the same knowledge they have of the book to answer, but what constantly invigorates the human mind is the unknown; we aren’t animated by what we already know. I want my student to ask questions about the book that has never been asked and then I want them to make books base of these questions.   To converse is to exercise one another’s thoughts by beginning with a trivial piece of knowledge and speaking about it together. I will be happy if this class help my students anew the meaning of knowing as well as understanding, and the essential identity of communication.
