'Unbound: A National Exhibition of Book Art'
Three years ago, as Bedford Gallery curator Carrie Lederer oversaw the selection and installation of public art for Walnut Creek's new downtown library, an idea for a parallel exhibition at the gallery exploring the depth of the genre of book art, began to germinate.
" 'Book art' is a synthesis of form and content and provides us a bridge between the traditional book and contemporary art," Lederer says. "Artists' books engage us in their meaning through a myriad of elements (versus just text), including words, image, materials, shape, form and color. The creative opportunity for structuring and packaging book art is endless - from pop-ups to sculptural housing."
The result is "Unbound: A National Exhibition of Book Art," featuring works by 65 book and visual artists including Michael Bartalos, Sas Colby, Emily McVarish, Erin Sweeney and Cara Barer.
