Artist’s Book Exhibition in Leipzig
Curator Kestutis Vasiliunas in Leipzig Book Fair
Theme: “Text”
Time: 12-15 March 2009
Location: IAKH, HALLE 3, H 501, Leipzig Book Fair
The “5th International Artist‘s Book Triennial Vilnius 2009” was exhibited in Leipzig Book Fair.
The 5th Triennial displays the most interesting artist’s books from all over the world. It is the most wonderful experience to see culture, traditions of different countries, art schools reflected in the artist’s books created by the artists. Paper typographic books and books printed by the use of classic graphic techniques – wood engraving, silk-screen printing or lithography; books printed by mixed techniques by combining possibilities of digital printing with drawing, collage and object; concept and “handmade” embroidered books; books – objects, le parello and Flux books. The key role here is played by the idea which materialises in multidimensional forms, and it is absolutely unimportant what means of expression were used in the book. Thus, whether they are “bibliophilic” books or experimental or books – objects – all of them by supplementing each other and contrasting with each other help to reveal miraculous and mysterious world of the artist’s book.
