'Location Volumes 5 and 6' expores the idea of books as an art gallery

When Nedrelow and Nusz were talking to artists to create pieces for the effort, they asked them to make it specifically for pages in a book. While the artists may still show their work in other places, the idea is that the primary way to see the art would be in book form. 

The publications are comprised of inkjet printed images in the standard size and length for manuscripts, and are bound at the Campbell-Logan bindery in Minneapolis's Warehouse District. There are currently six in the Location series, but they've done several other publications that are more in the traditional artist book vein, and feature talents such as David Rathman and Paula McCartney. The other series have size and other decisions determined by the artists, Nedrelow says.

The Location series are made in a set, and are for sale on their website and at the Walker Art Center's gift shops. They're also available at the MCAD library. "They've gone into some institutional collections because they are $100 for each volume," Nedrelow says. "They're kind of expensive. They're not like regularly published books." It's all part of the experiment.
