Mar.18-Apr.11: Art Exhibit: Text Out Of Context
 |
In an age where books are becoming increasingly digitalized and kindleized, contemporary artists are working in meaningful and creative ways to turn the book, as we know it, on its head. The book has gone through a metamorphosis from the stone tablet to the finely crafted illuminated manuscript to a mere mass produced carrier of content that has also had the unfortunate effect of devaluing the book as an object. Always up to the challenge, artists have taken the word and restored it to a place within a visual context; in this exhibition books are off the shelf, on the wall, moveable, transformative and surprising again.
Exhibition dates: March 18th – April 11th
Opening reception: Thursday, March 21st, 6pm – 8pm
Hewitt Gallery of Art
Marymount Manhattan College
221 East 71st Street, New York, NY 10021
