The Halsey Institute has organized a major group exhibition of new works by five mixed media artists from around the world who sculpt, scrape, bend and carve to create astonishing compositions using books as a point of departure. The exhibition will be on view at the Halsey Institute May 23 – July 6, 2013, as a featured presentation of the Spoleto Festival USA. Entitled Rebound: Dissections and Excavations in Book Art, the exhibition brings together Doug Beube, Long-Bin Chen, Brian Dettmer, Guy Laramée, and Francesca Pastine.

Before the opening reception on May 23, 5-6pm, each of the five artists will give a short presentation in front of their works featured in the gallery. This event is free and open to the public.
