Twelve artists were commissioned by the Cynthia Sears Artists’ Books Collection to take inspiration from the passport and other travel documents to create an artist book. Another 16 artists’ books were curated from the collection to bring additional perspectives, taking around the world, into the past and into the future, offering an incisive look at the promises and limitations of the passport, often reflecting the power of possession and the nationality or group that has conferred belonging. An exhibition catalog will be available in the BIMA Museum Store.
