The Book as Object and Performance
November 19 2004 - January 22 2005

Introduction:

The Book as Object and Performance is an exhibition of artworks that takes the format of the book as a point of departure to deconstruct that which is bound up in text, image and the physicality of books. Artworks in the exhibition consider the broad implications of technological advances on the book and print media, and the ways in which history and culture are articulated through both mass and unique media.

Curated by Sara Reisman:

Sara Reisman is an independent curator who has organized numerous site-specific and public projects throughout New York City. Recent exhibitions include Recovery at PS122 Gallery, Jamaica Flux: Workspaces and Windows at Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Float at Socrates Sculpture Park, Shpatzirin, a film and performance series on the Lower East Side, and Political Projects, a video program curated for Harvestworks that is currently on view at CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, New York. Reisman is based in Philadelphia where she is the 2004-2005 Whitney-Lauder Curatorial Fellow at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.
