SUMMARY:Boundless: The Art of the Book
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: July 17-August 24\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, July 20\, 5pm-7pm \nThis dynamic exhibition explores the rich and ever-evolving world of the book as an art form. Featuring artist books\, altered books\, and book illustration\, “Boundless” showcases imaginative approaches to storytelling\, visual poetry\, personal narratives\, and inventive book structures. Visitors will encounter works that range from the traditional to the avant-garde—books that hang\, twist\, stand\, open like advent calendars\, or defy conventional forms altogether. \nThe exhibition presents a wide array of techniques\, including letterpress\, etching\, monoprint\, painting\, photography\, and mixed media. Through these varied practices\, artists explore themes of memory\, imagination\, identity\, and the contemporary moment. \n“Boundless” features contributions from a distinguished group of 29 artists\, including local creatives\, university faculty\, and artists affiliated with book arts communities throughout New England and beyond—Boston\, Philadelphia\, New York\, New Hampshire\, and Maine. \nExhibiting Artists:\nRen Barnes\, Stevens Brosnihan\, Rachel Church\, Pamela Courtleigh\, Haig Demarjian\, Mary Dewey\, Madge Evers\, Lynda Fatalo\, Cristina Hajosy\, Hannah Jacoby-Brooks\, Linda Kauss\, Giles Laroche\, Kelle Louaillier\, Leslie Lyman\, Fred Lynch\, Claire B. Marcus\, Cynthia Marsh\, R. Ellis Orrall\, Sarah Parella\, Rhoda Rosenberg\, Lynne Sausele\, Mary Beth Smith\, Lorna Stevens\, Juni Van Dyke\, Anna Vojtech\, Larry Volk\, Karen Watson\, Antoinette Winters\, Kyung Eun You \nAn Opening Reception will be held on Sunday\, July 20\, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. The public is warmly invited to view the work\, meet the artists\, and enjoy refreshments and lively conversation. \nFeatured image: Sarah Parella\, News Cycle
