The Book Art Collective were delighted to have an opportunity of seeing the Book Art Exhibits last night at their meeting. Although many of us had seen them before, there is so much to see in the show that it was great to have another look. Jane, Carolina and Dorry gave us a talk each about their pieces of work and we had some discussion about making books, working collaboratively on book projects, the features of book arts that are special and much more ....
This is some us being treated to a lovely talk about book-y things last night.
After a good look round and many remarks of delight, we retired to do some practical things. Suzanne provided us with some great resources and there was much folding, glue-ing, cutting and lots of other messy stuff which finished off the evening very well!
Our next meeting will be held at INK SPOT PRESS on Tuesday 21 May, 2013. See you there!

Conceived by visual artist Kim L Pace, ‘Labyrinth of
Darkness’ includes a diverse selection of
films that juxtaposes contemporary international artists’ works, alongside
examples from pioneering Czech animators. The aim is to bring to light common
thematic concerns, narrative devices and techniques between the films, thereby
facilitating a dialogue between past and present.
Bodily metaphors, which historically enabled numerous Czech
animators to construct meaningful ambivalence and subvert authority within a
rigorously controlled context, resonate throughout the contemporary works. Body
parts are often objectified in the films – and perhaps point to the
increasingly alienating technological environments in which many of us live and
work.
