I published this book, “Articulation” in 1994 with an introduction by William Gibson as the catalog for my traveling exhibition of the same title. I looked it up today and see that it’s become a rare collectable book! It’s all a very strange thing in deed. #jeffdeboer #artbooks #exhibitioncatalogue
