��Copy, Tweak, Paste�� comprises an essay by graphic designer Rob van Leijsen on the modes, methods, and discourses around re-enactments, appropriations, or reinterpretations of artists�� books. Today, artists�� books maintain a paradoxical existence, from the extremely rare founding books �C termed ��first edition�� or ��original�� �C to the ��facsimile�� editions that emerged to counteract the scarcity of the originals by offering new versions of noteworthy titles. In his work, Van Leijsen, who heads a studio in Geneva, focuses mainly on cultural projects, notably in the fields of publishing design and research.
