BOUND/UNBOUND
Books Made by Artists

Curated by Megan Foster

On view March 18 - April 24, 2024

Exhibition Reception: Thursday, March 21 , 5-7 pm

Bound/Unbound brings together a group of artists who investigate books as art objects that exist at the intersection of printmaking, photography, experimental text, visual arts, graphic design and publishing. Artists' books, like reading, are a physical experience allowing a viewer to connect with an object, blurring the boundaries between the written word and visual art. Understanding a book as an artwork invites a reflection on the properties of the book form itself. A common theme throughout the show is experimentation and how to present a medium that tends to require hands-on interaction in a gallery or museum context. Bound/Unbound is inspired by artists such as Ed Ruscha and Dieter Roth who helped to bring about the modern conception of an artist book.
