[BKARTS] Lecture on Offset Printed Artist Books, Houston, Texas

[Anne Taylor <artaylor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

Tony White, Head of the Fine Arts Library at Indiana University, will
deliver a lecture tomorrow, Friday, February 22nd at 6:30pm, in conjunction
with the exhibition Production, Not Reproduction: Offset Printed Artist
Books. The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.

 

On view until March 22, 2008, Production, Not Reproduction draws attention
to the influence of offset printing on the genre of artist's books. This
exhibition charts the rise (mid-1950's) and fall (late 1990's) of offset
printed artists' books. The show  includes examples of offset printed
artists' books from artists such as Dieter Roth, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol;
feminist artworks; works from not-for-profit presses including Visual
Studies Workshop and Nexus Press; and works from the 1980's that many
consider to be the pinnacle of offset artists' books production. This show
has been organized by Tony White.
