SUMMARY:Folded Fan Sculptural Artists’ Book: A Vehicle for Imagination\, Experimentation\, and Play
DESCRIPTION:The California Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers presents: \nA workshop led by Debra Disman\nSaturday\, June 5\, 2021\n1:00 – 4:00 pm\, Pacific Time\nPresented live via Zoom \nThe “Folded Fan Book\,” Debra Disman’s personal name for this fun and versatile book structure\, is comprised of\nan accordion spine\, two covers\, and full size pages which “fan out” when the book is opened.\nThis structure can be treated as a traditional codex or built into a sculptural form limited only by the \ningenuity\, creativity\, and innovation of the maker. \nStudents will gather their own materials based on the supplies list provided and determine the size and content of their books\,\ninspired by examples of different ways this structure can be developed\, reimagined\, and used. \nWe will spend the first part of the workshop creating the basic structure\, then take off into unexplored territory\nwhere students can utilize their chosen materials to transform their books into personal explorations of their own histories\nor potential futures. Will YOUR BOOK become a container of memory\, visualization of an intention\, a container of dreams\, an excavated artifact?\nWhatever participants choose to create\, this book can become a vehicle for imagination\, experimentation\, and play. \nMaterials: Participants will supply and source tools and materials. The use of existing materials in your living/work space is encouraged.\nA list of supplies will be sent one month before the workshop. The Zoom link will be sent the week of the workshop. \nSkill Level: Open to all levels of experience \nRegistration: $50.00 USD for GBW members\,\n$60.00 USD for non-members.\nPlease register by May 15\, 2021. The workshop will not be recorded.\nThere is a cancellation fee of 10% of the registration fee up to 30 days before the workshop.

SUMMARY:Bookmaking with Self-Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Recovery Justice: Being Well\n“Being Well” is what we seek together as neighbors\, and recalls one of the central guiding principles of the City of Santa Monica\, the notion of “wellbeing” as key to civic health. Recovery Justice: Being Well\, aims to highlight the recent circumstances that have evolved during the pandemic (racial justice demonstrations and destruction\, as well as social discontent and general disconnection) into a series of self-organized artist projects that merges the exterior and interior public spaces of City of Santa Monica property. 18th Street Airport Campus at Santa Monica Municipal Airport will be the site where artists reimagine the city and beyond in the midst of complex social unrest globally. Recovery Justice will recuperate through various means the digital and physical footprints left in a city that struggles to reclaim the seemingly peaceful environment it once had. Artists will develop a palette for making and sharing artworks responding to the street experience in safe\, healing and expressive modes. This porous series is a point of departure to reconcile and redefine the concept of justice.  \nWE RISE PROJECTS: THIS MAY\nFor the We Rise series of projects related to Recovery Justice: Being Well\, 18th Street Arts Center will produce a series of artist-led workshops and civic engagement projects addressing mental health for youth and for families in Spanish and English. \nARTS LEARNING LAB @ HOME: CREATIVE SELF-COMPASSION \nThis May\, we are thrilled to present three new Arts Learning Lab @ Home art-making workshops for families all around wellbeing and self-compassion. May is Mental Health Awareness month\, and taking time for creativity together with loved ones is a key part of self-care in these uncertain times. We are partnering with WE RISE LA (https://werise.la/) to bring these moments for creative growth to you\, centered around the theme of wellbeing as we navigate coming out of a pandemic and transitioning to new routines together. \nWe will be providing ALL@HOME Art Kits with materials for each workshop that will be available for pick up from 1639 18th Street\, Santa Monica\, for those that live in the LA Metro area\, but all materials will also be easily found at home or at a local supply store. More information on Art Kit pick-up will be provided once you register for a workshop. Supplies are limited and are first come\, first serve. All of the virtual workshops will be presented on Zoom\, and interpretation will be provided in both English and Spanish. \nMay 15\, 2021 at 11 AM- 12:30 PM [Virtual: Zoom] Bookmaking with Self-Compassion | Debra Disman \n\nDebra Disman\, Narrow Bridge\, (inside) 2016\, 5.5 x 16 x 3.5 inches\, Artists’ Book/Mixed Media (board\, paper\, fabric\, linen thread).\nMake an artist book celebrating your own creative growth!!!\nJoin 18th Street Arts Center artist in residence\, Debra Disman and discover how to create the beautiful\, fun and versatile Flower Fold book into which you can write or paste wishes\, hopes\, prayers and dreams\, make into a chain to hang in your home\, or give as a gift. Explore what the pandemic has meant to you while learning new skills and creating a unique expression of renewal and rebirth during the spring season.

SUMMARY:The Book As Art\, vol. 8: Infinity - ARTIST TALK!
DESCRIPTION:The Book As Art\, vol.8: Infinity- Artist Talks\n\n\nby Georgia Center for the Book\n\n\n\n\nFree\nOctober 28\, 2020\n7:00PM EST\n4:00PM PST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an artist talk every Wednesday in October with artists featured in the 2020 Book As Art\, vol.8: Infinity Exhibition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin us for an artist showcase\, featuring 5 artists’ who have pieces in the 2020 The Book as Art v.8: Infinity exhibition: Debra Disman (“Maximum Security”; “Prairie”)\, Christian Feneck (“The Unmade Room”)\, Julie Fordham (“The Dream”)\, Nicole Polonsky (“32xF”)\, and Chris Revelle (“Living Monuments”). For more information about their work\, visit the catalogue for the exhibition here: Book As Art\, vol.8: Infinity Catalogue \nDebra Disman is a Los Angeles-based artist working primarily in the form of the book\, both as a solo practitioner and in the public sphere of community engagement. As a maker and teaching artist she creates work and projects which push the boundaries of the book into new forms and materials. Her work is shown in museums\, galleries\, universities and libraries across the US including The Brand Library and Art Center in Glendale\, CA\, Craft Contemporary in LA\, The University of the Arts in Philadelphia\, and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. Disman was the featured artist for the Big Read in LA in 2016; is the recipient of a WORD: Artist Grant / Bruce Geller Memorial Prize in 2016 to create “The Sheltering Book”\, a life-sized book structure; and was commissioned by LA’s Craft Contemporary Museum to create an interactive book for their 2017 exhibition\, “Chapters: Book Arts in Southern California.” She was a Studio Resident at the Camera Obscura Art Lab in 2018\, and was awarded five Artist-in-Residence grants from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs since 2017 to work with the diverse Valley communities of LA. \nArtist Christian Feneck combines his architectural training with painting\, print\, and installation art to create visual experiences of space using color. Feneck’s paintings explore the relationship of vision and the understanding of space by using architectural perspective conventions in combination with a layered series of translucent color fields.. Born in Massachusetts but raised primarily in Hawaii\, California\, and Florida\, Feneck has resided in Fort Lauderdale since 2004. Feneck was a Visiting Professor of Architectural Design and Theory at Florida Atlantic University and participated in the FATVillage Artist Incubator Residency and the IS Projects Existent Books Residency programs. Feneck contributed to numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout South Florida as well as curated several installation art exhibitions. \nJulie Fordham is a mixed media artist working in Atlanta\, Ga. She attended Rhode Island School of Design where she studied Illustration. Julie’s work is a personal narrative. She uses plants\, animals\, and insects along with her figures to interpret the world and the people around her. She creates intuitively and enjoys experimenting with new materials. She loves tedium and contrast. The combination of rough texture with feminine details. Tons of miniscule stitches and lace. Bright colors with dark heavy feeling imagery. Words are added as a source of texture. Her work explores the symbolism tied to animals and plants and reframes them in a way that establishes her own visual vocabulary. She has shown around the city of Atlanta and Nashville\, and participated in many shows at the Tannery Row Artist Colony in Buford. \nNicole Polonsky is a visual artist whose practice encompasses limited-edition prints\, bookworks and multiples; drawing and unique object-making; writing; film\, installations and performance. She also devises and produces group projects and exhibitions\, and collaborates with other artists to realize cross-disciplinary ventures. Nicole gained her bachelor’s degree at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art\, University of Oxford\, and master’s in Print at the Royal College of Art\, London UK. She has shown extensively throughout her career. Recent exhibitions include lapse:re:lapse\, MOCA London WE UK; Lighting Up Time\, Northern Print and Side Cinema\, Newcastle UK; A Pollock’s Gallimaufry\, and The Contemporary Print\, Flatbed Press and Gallery\, Texas USA. In 2019 Nicole received an Arts Council England Project Grant for Lighting Up Time; she was shortlisted for the 2018 Flourish Award for Excellence in Printmaking and the 2016 Neo:Printprize .Nicole’s artworks are held in private collections internationally and public collections at Museum of Modern Art and Lafayette College; Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art\,and the Victoria and Albert Museum\, among others. Her work was featured in a number of publications including Creative Review\, Art Monthly and Printmaking Today\, as well as The Word is Art. Nicole lives and works in London\, UK. \nChris Revelle is an interdisciplinary artist with a socially-engaged and research- based studio practice. Through the examination of history\, language\, and visual culture\, Revelle’s work confronts the failures and abuses of social\, political\, and economic systems. The goal of his practice is to challenge public memory while inspiring discourse and empathy. Revelle has exhibited in the United States\, Hong Kong\, London\, South Korea\, and India. He was the recipient of the 2018 Idea Capital Grant and a finalist for the 2017 Hong Kong Human Rights Art Prize. Revelle has created work for United Nations organizations\, and was formerly the Chair of Fine Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design\, Hong Kong\, and a Faculty Instructor of Painting and Drawing at Arizona State University. He earned his Master of Fine Arts from the School of Art at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) in Valencia\, CA.
