This course is a hands-on introduction to contemporary book arts practice - and an exploration of the visual and textual interrelationships between form and content in contemporary artists' books. Students learn to build a variety of bindings and boxes, using traditional and experimental materials appropriate to their projects. The class considers how contemporary arts have used books to disseminate, contain, sequence, and even subvert visual and/or textual information. Study of artists books in the University's Permanent Collection and readings from book arts theorists complement class discussions. The course culminates in the production of limited-edition artists' books. Prerequisite: Any 200-level Studio Art course, or permission of the instructor. (Credit, full course.) Püttg
