Description

This exhibition was centered on the intersection of artists’ books by master bookbinder Jacques Fournier with those of studio arts students who responded to his work. In the dialogues that emerged, the bookworks variously spoke to the unconventional structures and materials or evocative stories that push boundaries of the traditional book format inherent to Fournier’s artists’ books.

Curated by Melinda Reinhart, senior librarian emeritus, this exhibition was a culmination of a six-month project initiated by print media professors Bonnie Baxter, Jenny Lin, Stephanie Russ, and Patrick Visentin who worked in collaboration with Jacques Fournier and mentored students throughout the project.
