MONUMENTAL IDEAS IN MINIATURE BOOKS
The Cube
September 21 to November 2, 2013
Curated by University of Akron, Myers School of Art, Professor of Art, Hui-Chu Ying
Organized by the Myers School of Art at the University of Akron, Monumental Ideas in Miniature Books is an international collection of hand -made books including work by Kamloops-based artist Darlene Kalynka. At a time when books and print are increasingly turning to digital media, this exhibition invites the viewer to embrace the book as a physical object. The artist book is something not only to be read for its content, but to be taken in as a crafted work of art. The books showcase a wide range of printmaking techniques including traditional relief, intaglio, lithograph, serigraph and digital processes. The viewer is invited to investigate the content and technique of artist’s books and explore the possibilities of what a book can be.
