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
