Closing Reception: Dimensions of Dialogue
Students from Raluca Iancu’s ArtIS 355x / 555x: Letterpress Book Arts class visited Special Collections and University Archives in February to learn about the history and materiality and to explore a variety of historical, fine press, and artists’ books to inspire their own accordion book projects.
The Dimensions of Dialogue art exhibition features pairs of accordion books in dialogue with one another through their binding, form, scale, materials, or use of imagery. Students are responding to an element of a particular rare book from Special Collections that inspired their work. These artists’ book “conversations” can be seen in the glass exhibit case in the lobby of Parks Library to the East of the Main Desk, near the window wall.
During the closing reception students will give individual presentations about their accordion books and the semester-long research projects into the work of a book artist.
The reception is free and open to the public.
