Book in Hand is another book art show I won’t get to. It’s in New Haven this time, but at least there is a good slideshow for it. Looks pretty interesting.
BOOK IN HAND
February 17 – March 18, 2007
Artists’ Reception: Saturday, February 17, 5-7 PM
Performative Multimedia Lecture by Pattie Belle Hastings: Sunday, February 25, 4-5 PM
Gallery hours: Saturday-Sunday 12-5pm (+3rd Fridays, February 16 and March 16, 4-7 PM) FREEArts + Literature Laboratory (ALL) is proud to present an exhibition of artists’ books juried by Pattie Belle Hastings. The scope of this exhibition presents a wide-range of books in scale and complexity by twenty-six artists and/or collaborators. Unlike many book arts shows with glass-encased viewings, gallery visitors are encouraged to handle and read these books. This show celebrates and affirms, in this digital age, the materiality of the book.
