artists' books on display

Mon., Apr 27

While there is much debate about what constitutes a contemporary "artists' book," it is generally agreed that an artists' book is a book created as an art work in itself.

Contemporary artists' books take many different formats -- from the traditional codex or scroll book to inventive forms such as flip books, accordion books, venetian blind books, flag books, pop-ups, and uniquely juxtaposed and engineered structures.

On Monday, April 27, and Tuesday, April 28, from noon to 2 p.m., please stop by for a brief -- or an extended -- look at this unique and growing collection. If you are unable to join us, the collection is also shown by appointment.

Buley Library, 3rd floor.
