Scope and Contents

The exhibition, subtitled "Text and/as Image and/as Design and/as Meaning," was an interdisciplinary exhibition of visual art, artists' books, graphic design, and visual poetry by artists who were examining the ways that texts and images produced meaning in contemporary society, specifically in the United States in the 1990s. In a detailed essay, the curator, Johanna Drucker writes, "In the late 20th century artists in all areas work with an awareness of the legacy of conceptual art's attention to language and idea, with pop art and postmodernism's interest in appropriating language and image from the realm of popular and consumer culture, and with the ongoing engagement of artists with a commitment to the traditions of innovative expression." The Sackner Archive lent twenty five works to this exhibition and are acknowledged in the curator's note. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents The Foreword was written by Renee Reise Hubert & Judd D. Hubert. Amazon.com commented: "This important history of the artist's book, a flourishing form which over the years has often been greeted with confusion by critics, collectors, historians, and artists, aims to spell out its role in contemporary art and to claim for it a vital and heretofore unacknowledged status since the blossoming of the artform in the 70s.

Bright examines how artist's books have responded to specific movements, such as Pop, Fluxus, and...
