Permissions for Documentation is an ongoing artist book and teaching tool by artist, educator, and conceptualist Jorge Lucero. Part exhibition, part curriculum, part publication, the project asks a simple question: What permissions do artworks give us? What ways of thinking, making, teaching, and being become possible when we study the work of others?
This is not an official publication. It is a bootleg.
As there is only one single copy of this book in existence, we got creative. Produced as a black-and-white photocopy edition housed in a 1-inch three-ring binder, this publication embraces accessibility, use, and distribution over rarity. Each copy is assembled by hand and reflects SHED's ongoing interest in curriculum, self-publishing, and the movement of knowledge outside traditional institutions.
"Bootlegging is just extending. It's exactly what would happen when an idea becomes public or hits the mainstream. If it's a decent idea, it can be—and most often will be—adopted, copied, and multiplied." — unknown
