EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
About Do A BookWe are honored to announce the opening of “Do A Book” which is devoted to exploring the medium of artists books and text-based art works. Curated by George Chang and Katherine Don, “Do A Book” provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with an important tradition of creative expression explored by artists both in China and abroad. The exhibition will be open to the public February 18 – March 18, 2012.
The purpose of this display is to create a dialogue about the tradition of the “artist book” and the genre of the book medium. The artist book is an art form and a medium widely unexplored by contemporary artists in China, but is not absent from current practice. An artist book does not refer to a publication used to augment an exhibition, rather it is an object produced as an art work itself, often as a unique or limited edition. This project is a survey of objects that are related to books by contemporary artists from cities around the world. This exhibition highlights the varied interpretations of the book form: as a vessel for information or narrative, as an abstract form that transcends function, or as a medium referring to a book’s social function.
