Summary/Abstract: The program assumptions of the fifth edition of the Gallery in the Sztuka i Dokumentacja journal concern the artist's book. Contrary to art books, the basic assumption of which is to create a unique aesthetic form, and which are often expensive, large productions of well-known publishers of art publications, the artist's book is his own production, based on his own abilities and concept resulting from the social conditions in which a given publication is produced. An example analyzed and elaborated in this edition of the Gallery is the artistic activity of the Polish artist of conceptual art and mail art - Paweł Petasz. He was the creator of collage works, as well as numerous self-published works of his own artist’s books, and the instigator of Commonpress magazines, which became a collective work of mail art artists active around the world. The aim of the fifth edition of the Gallery is to present Petasz's artistic achievements, so as to make attempts on this basis for new interpretations of this type of artistic activity, and to re-evaluate this form of creativity in the context of the contemporary art world.
