The Book: A Contemporary View is a exhibit of bookworks up at Towson University (in Maryland) until April 11. It’s a nice on-line catalogue with essays about the state of the artists’ book, and enough information about the artists to make me look for their other work. One artist I found in particular was Andrew Huot. His book A Guide to Dogs is shown below. In the catalogue it says
A Guide to Dogs was made while the artist and his wife were searching for a dog. He did not have experience as a dog owner but his wife wanted his opinion, so he wrote a guide, using what knowledge he gained from movies and TV
It’s printed letterpress with handset type, linoleum cuts, and photopolymer plates. See Huot’s other bookwork here.
