Reimagined: The Artist's Book
Feb. 26 -May 14, 2022
What happens when the worlds of art
and books intersect? The objects in this
exhibition interpret the concept of the
book, exploring altering book structures
into sculpture or sculptural objects
whose only reference to book-ness
might be the inclusion of words. The
creative force of the featured artists is
demonstrated by their ingenuity in
reimagining book forms, decorating in
new ways and using unconventional
materials.
