  "The Valise was edited and produced for The Museum of Modern Art's Library Council by May Castleberry, Editor, Contemporary Editions, the Library Council. Leslie Miller, at The Grenfell Press, New York, and Mark Tomlinson, in Easthampton, Massachusetts, contributed to all aspects of the design and production. Leslie Miller and Brad Ewing at The Grenfell Press printed the letterpress, woodcut, and silkscreen works. Mark Tomlinson designed the carrying case, custom-made by Portfoliobox, and created the interior architecture to support each piece. He folded origami and curving pieces by Nicolás Paris, and worked directly with Maria Laet and Rosângela Rennó to produce covers for, respectively, their scroll and map. Mark Tomlinson oversaw the production of the hand-made wrappers, with hand calligraphy by Mary Teichman, for all of the artworks. Meredith Broberg, in Easthampton, Massachusetts, and John Iversen and Carolyn Conrad-Iversen, at J. Iversen, Inc., in Easthampton, New York, hand-cut selected prints by Mateo López for cut-paper architecture pop-ups. Additionally, for the deluxe edition, John Iversen hand-painted Nicolás Paris's design on each carrying case ... The deluxe edition includes hand-cut paper architecture by López; a second original woodcut print by Duville; a Paris design, hand-painted in metal leaf, on the carrying case; and signatures on many of the individual pieces"--Booklet colophon.
  "The printed edition, published by the Library Council of The Museum of Modern Art, presents a selection of artworks responding to the idea of travel and to Aira's novel Un episodio en la vida del pintor viajero (2000), both the original Spanish edition and the English translation, An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter (2006). The novel concerns the surreal story of an 1837 journey through South America by the German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas, an associate of the explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. Designed to fit in a special valise (a carrying case), the works include original prints, maps, artist's books, airmail envelopes, origami toys, posters, a sound recording, and a hand blown glass sculpture, all reflecting the artists' shared affinity for geography, travel literature, and book-making"--MoMA Library website.
