Monday lunchtime I visited the
San Francisco Center for the Book to see an
exhibit of artists' books containing works by 40 artists in a wide variety of formats.
 |
| Colander Calendar; Ed Baskauskas |
Some of the pieces are more like sculptures, such as this calendar created by enlarging the holes in a colander,
 |
| Sedimental, No. 2; Jody Alexander |
or this chair, fitted with books embedded in linen & felt.
 |
| Ghost Diary; Maureen Cummins |
This book, aptly named
Ghost Diary, had text & photographs printed on plates of glass.
 |
| Five Luminous Towers; Carol Barton |
All the objects have an appealing hand-crafted feel, & it was frustrating not to be able to handle any of them. There was no way to see the other pop-ups in this book about towers.
The SF Center for the Book hosts professional artists & offers lots of
classes, so it's an active place. On my visit I saw paintings lying on the floor to dry,
& people sorting trays of woodblock type.
