In the gallery this month we are pleased to present a new Curated Collection: Do Box Me In! For this show we gathered 26 artist books where a box is the central conceptual component. Perhaps the books are enclosed in unusual boxes; maybe they are books shaped as boxes; or books that pop out of boxes. Some of the books in this show might make you ask what came first, the box or the book?
Artists in this collection include: Naomi Abrams Reinstein, Alicia Bailey, Susan Collard, Jeanne Germani, Helen Hiebert, Bryan Kring, Shereen LaPlantz, Mary V.
