3/1/14: UCDA Design Education Summit
3/14/14 at midnight: Book Power Redux
Exhibition on view at 23 Sandy Gallery: May 30 - July 26, 2014; then traveling to Collins Memorial Library, University of Puget Sound: Mid-August to October 15, 2014
23 Sandy Gallery and the University of Puget Sound invite artists to participate in Book Power Redux, a juried exhibition of book art focusing on social and political issues.
THEME – Book Power Redux is seeking works addressing social and political issues. Artist books can be a powerful vehicle for social change and activism. For this show we have a strong interest in works that shine a light on some of the most vital issues of our day: race, diversity, equality, justice, bullying, poverty, civil rights, war and more.
Book artists have a unique opportunity given our accessible, multi-dimensional, multi-media format to go beyond just making things to making things happen. The current social and political issues listed above are but a few topics concerned artists can use to raise consciousness, call for justice or provoke action. Let's use our creative powers to solve the problems of the world.
MEDIA – This exhibit is open to book and paper arts related works. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects, altered books, zines, broadsides and print on demand artist books are all encouraged.
CONFERENCE CONFLUENCE – Book Power Redux will travel to Collins Memorial Library at the University of Puget Sound, and will be on display during a national conference focused on Race and Pedagogy. Details on the conference can be found on the conference web site here.
AWARDS – Three artists will receive Best of Show Awards, winners are selected upon installation of the show. In addition, we will also award the Library Purchase Prize. The winning work or works will be purchased by the gallery and donated to the artist books collection at the University of Puget Sound.
JURYING – This exhibit will be juried by Jane Carlin, MalPina Chan and Laura Russell.

Prior to joining Puget Sound, Jane was the senior librarian for the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning Library and the University of Cincinnati as well as held posts at Oxford Brooks University in England, University of Texas at Arlington, and the Herron School of Art.
