Artist Book Hour: Architecture and Urban Spaces
Artist Book Hour: Architecture and Urban Spaces In-Person
Curious to learn how book artists have been inspired by architecture and urban development? This event brings together artist books from Arts Library Special Collections and Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library that explore themes of home, shelter, displacement, neighborhood, and more. Our guest curator at this event is Kathy Winsor Bohlman, Architecture Records Archivist at Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library.
The program will begin with remarks by our guest curator. This is an informal event, however, and you are welcome to drop in anytime during the hour.
Curious about artists' books? They are, simply put, a creative medium in which the conventional materials and approaches of book production—for instance paper and ink, graphically compelling combinations of illustration and text, and structures that invite exploration—are used and sometimes subverted to create tangible, interactive, surprising works of art. Haas Arts Library has thousands of artist books, many in its special collections, and the Artist Book Hour event series invites you to engage directly with these art objects.
Audience: All members of the Yale community are welcome to attend.
