Beyond the Book
Artists who use books as their medium
Saturday 5 April - Sunday 8 June
Devon Guild of Craftsmen
Devon Guild of Craftsmen
The artists in this exhibition examine the
book as physical form as well as a container of ideas and concepts. A household
object - the conventional book has only recently been rivalled by the computer
screen and electronic text. This exhibition sets out to explore this
transition, through a variety of formats, from photographs to sculptures,
installations and jewellery. The special qualities of the book object are
deconstructed and described by these artists who all share an interest in
history and memory, language and narrative.
Exhibitors:
