Look, A Book! Exhibition and Opening Reception

Join us for the opening reception of the UC San Diego Library’s fascinating new exhibition – Look, A Book! – a display of traditional and innovative 21st century book art interpretations. Co-presented by the California Chapter Guild of Book Workers. The exhibition includes a broad range of book structures, letterpress printing, fine and design binding, and unique artists’ books in a wide variety of media, including photography, walnut ink, handmade sunflower paper, paste papers, and stone veneer. The topics of the artists’ books are equally diverse, and include such titles as News Delivery Systems: A Condensed History, Where Stucco meets Chaparral, The Lone Ranger, and The Jumping Frog by Mark Twain. The exhibition, which includes nearly 50 works, showcases traditional book arts as well as more innovative 21st century interpretations of books.
