Artist Talk: Are You Book Enough? A Year-Long Challenge of Making Artist Books
Thursday, January 14, from 6–7pm, via Zoom (link will be emailed prior to the event)
In 2020, I embarked on the #areyoubookenough monthly internet challenge, started by Sarah Maker of Editions Studio in Seattle. Each month a different theme guides the creations. Participants post their progress and their final results using the appropriate #areyoubookenough tag.
During this talk I will discuss the challenge and my responses — in particular my response to the #areyoubookenough_sea challenge. With this artist book, I created a series of books using Hedi Kyle's Storage book structure that examine what I found on a Caribbean beach, 13 years apart. We will look at the physical book and review how the book was made.
Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
