UP NEXT | Rebound | May 23 – July 6, 2013
Increasingly, contemporary artists have been exploring the interplay among the function, structure, and format of books. Curated by Karen Ann Myers, Assistant Director of the Halsey Institute, Rebound: Dissections and Excavations in Book Art brings together the work of five mixed-media artists from around the world who, using books as a point of departure, sculpt, scrape, bend, and carve to create astonishing compositions. Doug Beube, Long-Bin Chen, Brian Dettmer, Guy Laramée, and Francesca Pastine transform various types of literature and/or printed books through sculptural intervention.
