(Un)Bound: Artist Books and Prints by Book Artists of Ann Arbor
This exhibit, curated by Ben Reynaert, explores contemporary bookmaking as an art form. Within the artists' book movement, there has been an explosion of alternative types of bindings and printing methods that change traditional codex (separate pages bound together with a cover) by altering type, image, shape and structure. Words, images and form contribute to the meaning of the book as art in a new way. Tearing, folding, and binding are just some of the ways that books can be transformed to create a new art object that brings up the question of what a book can be.
