Context
Since 2004 the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute systematically supports and popularises the production of artists' books and artist editions of national and international authors. The series of events dedicated to artists' books have been called Blind Date, thus for instance in 2011 P74 organised the exhibition of books published by Lubok Verlag, Leipzig.
International cooperation
In 2014 a presentation of the artist's book 26 stages of erection by Dejan Habicht took place at the Blind Date AFTER event at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Croatia.
Since 2009 P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute presents and sells artists' books also at international art fairs such as the Miss Read in the Kunstwerke Berlin, NY Art Book Fair in P.S.1, Centre of Contemporary Arts, in Los Angeles, Paris and Brussels. Some of the books have been included in theartists' books collections of the eminent institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the MoMA in New York, the Museum of Modern Art Weserburg, the South End University in London and the CNEAI Paris. They can also be purchased in specialised bookshops such as Boekie.Woekie (Amsterdam), Pro-qm and Motto (Berlin), Printed Matter (New York), Castilo-Coralles and Florence Loewy (Paris).
