Rice University is now one of only four institutions worldwide to house the entire back catalog of Primary Information, a renowned publisher of artists' books and writings. This incredible collection, now available at Fondren Library, serves as an essential resource for students, scholars, and the public interested in contemporary art and avant-garde publications.

To celebrate this exciting addition, we invite you to visit the new exhibit on the 3rd floor of Fondren, located in the Brown Fine Arts Library. Curated by K. Sarah Ostrach and Jeanette Sewell, the exhibit offers a deep dive into the creative world of artists' books and experimental writing, showcasing influential works from the Primary Information catalog.
