Reimagined: The Artist’s Book
Feb. 26 – May 14, 2022
What happens when the worlds of art and books intersect? The resulting spectrum ranges from innovatively designed books to unique and beautifully sculpted artist books. Imagine an artist looking at the very concept of printed material, such as a book, and seeing the raw material for a new and exciting work of art. The objects in this exhibition interpret the concept of the book, exploring altering book structures into sculpture or sculptural objects whose only reference to book-ness might be the inclusion of words. The creative force of the featured artists is demonstrated by their ingenuity in reimagining book forms, decorating in new ways and using unconventional materials.
The William D. Cannon Art Gallery is a program of the City of Carlsbad’s Library & Cultural Arts.
