Pageturner at Yale Art Gallery – Nov.6th
My 1997 piece “Pageturner” will be on view at the Yale University Art Gallery in the exhibition:
Odd Volumes: Book Art from the Allan Chasanoff Collection
Friday, November 7, 2014 – Sunday, February 1, 2015
Drawn from a major collection given to the Gallery by Allan Chasanoff, B.A. 1961, Odd Volumes showcases a selection of experimental and innovative works of book art from the 1960s to the present. This student-curated exhibition considers the transformation of books into sculptural objects from multiple perspectives: the history of book art, the relationship between form and content, and the interaction between the viewer and the work. Featuring approximately 100 works by more than 80 artists, including acclaimed figures such as Olafur Eliasson, Yoko Ono, and Dieter Roth, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover the world of book art. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Artspace, a nonprofit arts organization in New Haven’s 9th Square. From November 7, 2014, through January 31, 2015, Artspace presents a companion exhibition, Connecticut (un) Bound, featuring additional works from Chasanoff’s collection as well as responses by local artists.
