October
9 - 28, 2004, Flux Factory, Long Island City, NY
February 2 –
26, 2005, Fisher Arts Center, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY
Flux Factory has collected artists’ books and other less formal interpretations
to be displayed in What the Book?, an installation that aims to challenge mass
production and the mundanity of the every day coffee table book. The exhibition
space will be transformed from a traditional gallery into an interactive domestic
lounge.
The personal hand craftsmanship of the book and the many less conventional mediums/forms
that they can take will be explored. The ambition of this show is to examine
the idea of the book as sculptural object, narrative, and metaphor
