Hands-On 6: Never Before Seen Artist Books

Friday, 10/28/16 4:00pm – 6:00pm

Environmental Design Library – 210 Wurster Hall

Handmade books by artists defy conventional “reading” by involving the viewer though sight, touch, and physical manipulation. Too often these wonderful works of art are locked behind the exhibit case. Our Hands On series at the Design Library make them available for you to touch, turn the pages, and explore. This event will open up the library’s vault to share some of our exquisite artist books.

Handmade books in our collection are also available for viewing during reference desk hours, usually 1-5 Monday – Friday. While no appointment is necessary, you may want to contact us ahead of time to ensure their availability.

The Library attempts to offer programs in accessible, barrier-free settings. If you think you may require disability-related accommodations, please contact the event sponsor — ideally at least two weeks prior to the event. The event sponsor is David Eifler, 510-643-7422, deifler@berkeley.edu.

Light Refreshments will be served.
