Exhibitionista: “CONTENT” at The Artery
The Artery 207 G Street, Davis, CA, United StatesI am honored to be included in CONTENT, a show of Artists' Books at The Artery, in Davis, CA.
"Artist Books typically defy classification, definition, and expectations. They are vessels for an artist's vision. To understand what an artist book is you have to forget your definition of a book."
According to the Smithsonian Institute Library blog, “An artist’s book is a medium of artistic expression that uses the form or function of ‘book’ as inspiration. It is the artistic initiative seen in the illustration, choice of materials, creation process, layout and design that makes it an art object. ..."
“What truly makes an artist’s book is the artist’s intent, and artists have used the book as inspiration in a myriad of ways and techniques, from traditional to the experimental. The book could be made through fine press printing or hand-crafted, the pages illustrated with computer-generated images or cheap photocopies; books became sculptures, tiny and gargantuan; books were sliced up and reconfigured, made from all kinds of materials with unconventional objects incorporated, in unique or limited editions, or produced in multiple copies. With all sorts of ideas behind them, artists continue to challenge the idea, content and structure of the traditional book.”
