Artists' books holding us in their palm

Venue: 1st floor HUB building, Lenton Parr Library

Presenters: Ms Louise Jennison, Ms Gracia Haby

The flexible medium of the book holds us in its palm rather than us holding the book in our own palms. We are besotted with paper for its adaptable, foldable, cut-able, concealable, revealing nature. In our artists' books, prints, zines, drawings, and collages, we use an armoury of play, humour, and perhaps the poetic, to lure you closer. The animal is often present and easily detectable, the centre of our paper stage. Join Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison as they discuss their artist book practice and see first-hand examples of their work from the Baillieu Library Rare Book Collection.
