July 2023 Exhibition ‘The Art of the Book’

First Friday Art Walk, Friday July 7th from 5-8pm

Artwork by Nikki Laxar

THE ART OF THE BOOK

An exhibition of handmade artists’ books by the members and friends of the Book Arts Guild of Vermont

Is the physical book coming to an end?  Not according to artists who seek to interpret ‘the book’ as a means of creative expression.  The concept of the artist’s book can take many forms and encompass various techniques, including collage, printmaking, papermaking, sewing, graphic design, calligraphy, and digital techniques.  The end result is an artwork that tells a story, relates a feeling, or sends a message through the interaction of the materials, structure, and content. Regardless of form, the artist’s book contains the vision of the artist, but is meant to be shared with the reader.    

The Book Arts Guild of Vermont (B.A.G.) was established in 2005 to offer learning opportunities in and around the field of book arts, and to create a supportive and welcoming environment for new and established artists and craftspeople.  Our mission is to promote greater public awareness of book arts, increase opportunities for members to exhibit their work, and inspire and encourage creativity and the sharing of book arts in our community.  Monthly meetings feature hands-on projects, demonstrations, lectures, and discussions.

Exhibition Duration at The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery: 

 July 7 – August 4, 2023

Open Hours: The Space Gallery, Fridays and Saturdays from 12-5pm. 

Opening/closing Receptions: First Friday Art Walks July 7 from 5-8pm and Aug 4th 5-8pm

interaction of concept, structure, materials, and content to create a
kind of happening or experience for the reader. The exhibit includes a
wide range of techniques and subject matter ranging from repurposed
books turned into sculptural shapes to miniature woven paper
structures.

‘Bound to Happen Exhibition’ work by Marcia Vogler

The Vermont International Museum of Contemporary Art + Design is mobile miniature art museum located inside a 1960s era camper, and it includes hundreds of pieces of miniature artwork displayed in several galleries.

Matt Neckers, ‘Vermont International Mini-Contemporary Art Museum’

Jeff Howlett – 
Live Tintypes Booth, $50 a plate/tintype for Patrons of the Event
Introduced in the mid-19th century, each tintype photograph is individually created by coating, sensitizing, exposing and developing metal plate as the subject sits for the portrait session. Many Civil War era photographs were created with this historic technology, which provides a hauntingly beautiful and permanent image especially suitable for heirloom portraits of individuals, families, and bands.
