Embracing the Tangible: Fostering Interdisciplinary Connections in Book Art
In a digital age where screens dominate our interactions, the material book stands as a testament to the enduring power of the tangible. This conference theme invites participants to explore the palpable allure of book art and its capacity to bridge diverse disciplines.
We invite CBAA members to submit work for the members exhibition that explores artists’ books through an interdisciplinary lens, highlighting connections and collaborations between book art and disciplines ranging from literature, music, and visual arts to science and technology and beyond. In particular, we are looking for:
Interdisciplinary book works that manifest in surprising or unusual structures
Interdisciplinary work that emphasizes tactile materials/materiality and unexpected approaches in the use of materials.
Hand-crafted book works (editioned or unique) that have been made within the last 3 years.
The exhibition will be at the Art Lofts Gallery at UW-Madison from May 23 to June 14. The opening reception will be held on June 6 from 6:00 to 7:30.
A print-on-demand catalog of the exhibition will be available.
