Is is a big deal? Well, sort of. This is the Bakery Gallery's first group show. That's got to mean something right? Not only is it a group show, but it is the first official Book Arts show! Truthfully something that has been a long time coming. Now we have had plenty of Artist's Books grace our presence in the past two years, but always in conjunction with something else. This go-around though...
OOOOOHHH-BOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!!
Is it going to be good.
So what is it?
It's an exhibition of the University of Iowa's Center for the Book graduate students and affiliates. (whoo)
The title? "A Delicate Sequence of Analog Tangents"
Let's see a couple of examples of the work that may be in the show.
Kim Maher "Crooked BedZZZzz"
Jill Kambs "Leaf Study #2"
Are you confused as to what Book Arts can be? This would be a good show to attend.
plus PLUS +++ Several of the graduate students have agreed to host a dialog before the exhibition opening detailing their work and Book Arts in general.
That all sounds dandy dear Bakery, but lets get out the ol' tacks and hammer some info out ok?
