Artists’ Book & Bookbinding. Folds Unfolded

Friday 12 May 2023
10am – 5pm

Books-binders to keep thoughts hidden in the folds; folds that open to anyone who questions them, and unfold like sails in the wind.

More information

We will explore two different, but similar, forms of folds that are functional and artistic at the same time:
1 – BLIZZARD BOOK – Paper structure without thread and without glue, designed by the book-artist Hedi Kyle. As a guideline for the planned work, we will show examples from the Scuola’s Collection and propose different variants of aesthetics and functionality.

2 – STORAGE BOOK STRUCTURE – Paper binding withouth thread, with glue, also designed by Hedi Kyle. Ideal as a book to preserve (storage), but also to display images, phrases, poems in a radial pattern. As a guideline for the work in the programme, we will use ‘Parallel Pathways’ by Melany Mowinski, artist in residence at the Scuola in 2016, and other examples from the Collection.
