Artists Book by Carlos Salas

July 15 & 16, 1-5PM – Artists Books Workshop

“Los libros de la interpretación” with Carlos Salas In the Windmill Community Garden

This project engages image interpretation as a universal language. Regardless of the language you speak, you can identify the images you see in the stains, building a visual language or symbolic understanding. The Books of Interpretation becomes an instrument for interaction in different languages. Including both a book of spots and a workbook, viewers can interpret the stains and then write their observation in the workbook, using the language of their choice.  At the end of the exercise, the Book will be filled with the interpretation of the observers constructing a book of meaning in different languages.
