Meeting of the College Book Art Association in Portland, Oregon
December 4, 2009 - January 10, 2010 - 23 Sandy Gallery, Portland, Oregon
THEME - 23 Sandy Gallery and the College Book Art Association (CBAA) invite
you to submit work to The Assignment, a juried book arts exhibition held in
conjunction with the annual meeting of the CBAA in Portland, Oregon. To
illuminate the conference’s focus on book arts teaching practice and
pedagogy, this exhibition will feature work created by member artists
generated directly from course assignments or from those assignments we
generate for ourselves. Work accepted into the show will be exhibited
alongside a written description of the assignment. Non-members are welcome
to submit work if they pay the membership fee on top of the entry fee.
Entries deadline is October 24, 2009.
MEDIA - This exhibit is open to book arts related artworks created as either
edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects,
altered books, zines or broadsides are encouraged. Any medium, any style,
any size.
JURORS - The Assignment will be juried by Macy Chadwick and Clifton Meador.
Macy Chadwick is an instructor at Academy of Art University in San
Francisco, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the San Francisco Center for
the Book. She is also the proprietress of In Cahoots Press, Oakland,
California. Clifton Meador is associate professor and director of the M.F.A.
program in book and paper at Columbia College in Chicago. He is also the
editor of the Journal of Artist Books.
CASH PRIZES & AWARDS - One book will be awarded the “Purchase Prize” and
will be purchased and donated to the John Wilson Special Collection Room at
the Multnomah County Library in Portland. Other honorary and cash awards
will be given by the CBAA. Those awards have yet to be determined, but stay
tuned. We’ll post them on the web site soon.
