The Riso Book: Box Set encompasses all 5 projects from The Riso Book series. A traveling project, The Riso Book series featured 5 local artists in 5 different cities. The work featured in each one of these books was made, printed and bound on site. The plexi-glass enclosure is a limited edition of 20 with each side of the box corresponding to the Riso book colors. 

The Riso Book, inspired by the format of Seth Siegelaub and Jack Wendler's 1968 Xerox Book, is a geographic survey of contemporary artists with similar practices across several cities. 

In each city, 5 artists worked over the course of five days, using the Risograph as a tool. Each artist was given 20 pages within the monochromatic 8.5 x 11 inch book. All 100 pages were bound into a single publication in an edition of 100.
