Paper, Art & the Book
September 28, 1996 - December 7, 1996
an exhibition of the innovative ways artists utilize paper to express ideas conveyed in books and broadsides
Rather than viewing paper as merely a neutral substrate, works employ unusual or evocative papers that integrate the medium's physical components --- fiber, watermark, decorative elements, weight and texture --- with the final work's text and image, or even guide the structure and intent of the book itself.
