Again, I'd like to request that if you happen to post any of my photos of the work in Odd Volumes to another site (pinterest, tumblr), you take care to credit the artist and to give me photo credit as well. All photos were taken by me on January 29, 2015. Thank you!
There is one more post of work in Odd Volumes to come. It seemed that I'd photographed nearly every piece in the exhibit, but in actuality it was only 40. Two are not being posted because I neglected to photograph the tag and cannot give proper artist credit.
Stay tuned!
Oh my goodness it just gets better - Sigh. thank you thank you thank you again!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome Fiona! Really is a shame you and Barry didn't visit this year....just saying...we could have seen some truly exquisite art together this time round to make up for the truly horrid art at MOMA last year. Ha! Enjoy!
DeleteIf only we'd known... still I'll take crap art at MOMA for lunch with you any day!
DeletelOVELY ART!
ReplyDeleteYes. The whole exhibition had me yearning to rush into the studio and create book after book after book.... Enjoy!
DeleteThanks so much for posting these, am thoroughly enjoying looking at al these volumes, it is amazing what can be done with paper, and I love the lead ones.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Debbie. The lead book is exquisite as are so many others in the exhibit. Still, to create a book of lead and have viewers want to pick it up and turn the pages...wonderful. Enjoy!
DeleteThe asemic writing in Book by Maria Lai made me want to see more ... and to touch, oh how I would love to be able to touch it and turn the page. Would there be words on the other side???
ReplyDeleteLiz, I have to confess that I stood and viewed that book from just about every angle possible...short of actually picking it up - which, of course, I yearned to do. It is incredible. Her asemic writing had me imagining the story...a collection of treasured love letters...or so it seemed to me. Made me wonder what Maria Lai was thinking when she created it. Enjoy!
DeleteThanks for sharing this exhibit. What a fascinating and unusual grouping of books.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome Seth! It is a magnificent collection of artist's books. I only wish I'd found out about the exhibit sooner so more visits would have been possible. Enjoy!
