The possibilities for ways of communicating ideas are seemingly endless in “Book Arts: Conversations in Art & Words” on view through December 22 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art.
After speaking with artists and curators and researching artists affiliated with the New England Book Artists, Annie Dean, curator of the show, said what she found was that when it comes to book arts, “the piece has to have some reference to what we might think of as a conventional book. It doesn’t always have to, but that’s the thread that I found. The other big thing I’ve noticed is that while book artists work in the medium of books, which are often interactive, the resulting pieces are meant to be works of art.”
