editorial mission

The press was established in 2004 to contribute to the critical discussion of artists’ books. The interdisciplinary nature of artists’ books is one of their most exciting attributes, and yet it contributes to the lack of critical inquiry and study of the medium. Falling between the world of craft and fine art, literature and visual art, these works have not been made an official part of the canon of either writers or artists. But this is starting to change...

The jenny-press aims to contribute to this exciting time by publishing essays on issues relevant to contemporary artists’ books.

artistic mission

The jenny-press provides a venue for the production and distribution of the stationery designs of Jae Jennifer Rossman. Friends and family have received these small, original art works periodically over the years. Now the artist wishes to share her vision with a larger audience while keeping her artwork accessible and affordable.
