Title
- Book Artist in the Studio
Summary
- Enjoy book artists, specialists, librarians, and curators at the Library of Congress in this free, in-person symposium celebrating the book-making process and the Aramont Library. Building upon the success of “Making the Modern Book” (2023), RBSCD will host another symposium entitled “Book Artist in the Studio.” The symposium featured a historic and contemporary exploration of studio practice using nineteenth- and twentieth-century artist books in the Aramont Library, as well as RBSCD’s extensive archive of the work of type designer Russell Maret and limited edition works by intaglio printmaker Sarah Horowitz. The event included reflections by Emily Moore, former Assistant Curator of the Aramont Library. In addition to formal talks, activities included a collection display, a catered reception, and a printing demonstration in the Rare Book Classroom on the Library’s own printing press, The Copper Torch Press.
