Facebook releases Open Form, a book celebrating five years of their Artist in Residence (AIR) program. The book is a work of art in itself. You might be afraid to open it. No way you want a coffee stain or crumbs to get on this. Open Form calls to mind the catalog from many years of Art Basel Miami, excepting that the binding and presentation is more elegant. They really went all in on this book and in the selection of these artists. The curators are to be congratulated. AIR began at Facebook's headquarters and is now global. There are four dedicated curators in the four regional areas Facebook has an office (Chicago, Dublin, Sao Paulo and Seattle). The point isn't just to display art but to create a connection to the artists and offer local artist's a chance to make new, large scale art--notably site-specific installations. You can check out video profiles of the artists participating HERE. You can purchase a copy of the book for $85 HERE.
