Scope and Contents

The exhibition was curated by Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Anne Stengel Raman. Judith Hoffberg's essay is titled "Full of Elegance and Wit, Timeless yet Familiar: Unique Bookworks" from the writing of Robert Lax. She claims that artists books are not containers of ideas, but a consummate experience that challenge the reader and actively shape the reading experience. "The experience of viewing and reading a unique artist book is an interactive experience in which the viewer completes the work, creating and changing emotional reactions to the artist's own." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Sense Books: Nose Book, Tongue Book, Ear Book, Eye Book, Skin Book / Carothers, Martha., 1978 - 1979

Identifier: CC-17402-17767
Scope and Contents

These five books, each relating to one of the senses, are a "tour de force" of book design. They have a playful quality which permits interaction between the reader and the book through unfoldings, pulling apart layered objects, and visual peeks for a fun filled, kinetic experience. The text is replete with puns and cliches. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Dates: 1978 - 1979
