According to book artist Ed Hutchins, an Artist's Book can be thought of as a sculptural method for storing and sharing information. Unbound, now in it's 13th year, focusses on Artist's Books in both traditional and non-conventional forms, including 2-D and 3-D artwork made FROM deconstructed books. We supplement the exhibit with 2-D works depicting books (by permission of the curators.)
April 25 - May 24, 2025 -
