Book artists?

As an art major and a lover of books, I always enjoyed when artist friends did projects that involved bookmaking.  I am so enthralled with the fact that the product is not as important as the process in this situation.  When I went to dance class, the end performance was never the "point."  What fed me was the process of creating and designing the work bit by bit.  And if you're an artist, you'll understand when I say that I danced because I had things I "had to get out."  I could only sleep at night after I had danced out all of my stress, feelings, anger, joy, etc.  I never thought of literature in that way, but I guess I should have.

Nevertheless, here's a link to a fundraising project involving 10 book artists, Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center, and CityDance Ensemble.  It shows a preview of the forthcoming documentary.
