Under the name of Collect Editions, René Put and Brigitte Gootink independently produce and publish exclusive artist editions. For every edition, an artist is invited to develop new work, considering the outcome in close collaboration with Put and Gootink. With mutual respect for each others motives and discipline, they reflect on concept, contents, research, material, shape, design, and production. Each time a unique appearence is created, distinct from the previous, allowing Collect Editions to investigate and redefine the medium of an artist edition, both in content and form. In due course the editions will comprise a collected body of work, proposing a triggering dialogue between subjects and form as a whole.
