Press and Release 2016: Technology and the Evolution of the Artists’s Book

Innovative exhibition at the Phoenix in Brighton as part of the Brighton Festival of work by contemporary artists who work with the book as an art form.

The display area itself was really innovative with units made of reinforced cardboard creating a maze to walk round. A great idea to make the display itself of the same material as the exhibits. The art works were a mix of reusing and working books and creating works in a book format.

I loved Maddy Rosenberg’s street scene, Marianne R. Petit’s pop up books and Buzz Spectre’s art works made from books, particularly as one he’d destroyed to make an art work was The Slade House which we’d read with my book group and not really enjoyed!

Closes 12 June 2016
