New York Center for Book Arts 2013 15 x 13 inches top opening portfolio 12 broadsides of varying sizes
Twelve broadsides, each representing the work of an individual poet who gave a reading at The Center for Book Arts in New York, are enclosed in an artistic portfolio that not only provides protection but also appeals to the eye. As part of the Broadside Reading Series, a letterpress printer (sometimes the poet who gave the reading) creates a broadside of one of the author's poems that captures the essence of the verse and the story they told. Included are works by printers James Walsh, Joshua Beckman, Barbara Henry, Roni Gross, Richard O'Russa, Amber McMillan, Anna Paula Cordeiro, Meg Quarton, Sarah Mottaghinejad, and poets Joshua Beckman, Mary Ruefle, Jen Bervin, Joseph Donahue, Caroline Knox, Cecilia Vicuna, Elizabeth Willis, James Walsh, Julie Patton, Simon Pettet, Lewis Warsh, and Michael O'Brien. The broadsides are reserved for the yearly portfolios. The 2012 portfolio features a top opening that closes with a red flap, and brown sides with an orange stripe on each.

(Center for Book Arts) AN EXHIBITION OF BOOKBINDINGS BY JEAN DE GONET.
New York Center for Book Arts 1987 12mo. stiff paper wrappers 28 pages
An exhibition of 45 works by innovative French bookbinder de Gonet was held in New York from May 16 to June 16, 1987. According to Jan van der Marck in the introduction, innovation is a radical attack on the continuity of thought and action that distinguishes culture and informs tradition. There are two ways in which to detect it: by deduction and induction. The former requires that we search for a break in an evolving stylistic configuration much as we would for a stoppage of leak in a pipeline. The latter proceeds by the intuitive recognition of a sea change, and the ability to pinpoint evidence from clues. At first blush, de Gonet's ingeniously crafted or industrially produced covers resemble the lid of a roll top box or the dash of a racing car. These unsubtle clues that somebody is playing hard and fast with the bookbinders tradition are the unchallengeable evidence of innovation. Black and white illustrations.

(Center for Book Arts) \FLO\: ART, TEXT, NEW MEDIA
New York Center for Book Arts 2009 square 8vo. stiff paper wrappers 32 pages
Text and image are two forms of communication that have enormous potential to combine, intermingle, blend, and flow - thus creating new modes of expression. This exhibition, held in New York from April 15 to June 27, 2009, features over thirty artists, whose backgrounds are in different media, including painting, sculpture, video and performance art, printing, and the book arts. These artists are exhibiting new work that exemplifies the creative dynamism of melding the written word with visual arts. Exhibition Curator Rocío Aranda-Alvarado says: "Through the imaginative prism of these artists, it's no longer necessary to regard text and image as separate substances, like oil and water. Instead, they have profound potential to blend and create a synthesis of expressive forms, something beyond the realm of traditional media." Digitally printed with color illustrations.

Coordinated by Ilse de Graaf and Lara Frankena, this exhibition was held in New York from January 20 through March 30, 1996.

It also explored the diversity of contemporary sexual experience and the current attitudes towards human physicality, male/female relations, homosexuality, AIDS, and desire. These works assert the innumerable ways a book can express ideas concerning the most intimate aspects of an individual, as well as the larger political concerns related to sexual orientation and gender issues.

(Center for Book Arts) Hoff, James and Alan Licht EAR TO THE PAGE
New York Center for Book Arts 2010 12.5 x 12.5 inches LP Record Jacket one sheet folded, printed on both sides
This exhibition brings multi-media, mixed media, and performance art to the forefront in book arts through albums as a biography, a book, an exhibition catalogue, and many other varieties by exploring and intertwining the aspects of recordings and books, and the idea that any document can exist through sound.

The invention of the album made way for the recording of sound just as the printing press made way for the mass production of books. Many artists today explore the connection between sound and the written word, and the way these two can be interchanged. This is demonstrated through examples of albums as biographies, books with sound components, and books as musical scores.

(Center for Book Arts) "Jaldaboath" STREET LIFE IN LONDON REDEEMED.
created by Andrew Atkinson (New York Center for Book Arts 2003) small 8vo. black cloth with title illustration in gray on cover 24 pages
Published in a limited edition of 50 copies, each signed and numbered by "Jaldaboath." An early example of social and documentary photography, Street Life in London, by Adolph Smith and John Thomson, is the basis of this volume. Originally published in 1878, it was a project to photograph the street life of the London poor using the Woodburytype photomechanical process.

The Nag Hammadi Library is the source of information about the worldview of the Gnostics and their blend of Platonic knowledge and Christo-Judaic understanding of the world. Characters from the Nag Hammadi texts are used as quasi historical people, involved in seeking redemption. Jaldaboath is a fallen character within gnosis, and as creator of the mundane world, is seeking to redeem himself through mundane means, namely through a neurotic and modern attachment to the safety signs that articulate our bureaucratic environments. Jaldaboath's work is the principle object of study within the findings of the recently re-opened Nag Hammadi site and an endless source of interest and pity to Pistis Sophia, who edits, compiles, and interprets the photographs, writings, objects, and miscellany of the absent Jaldaboath in an effort to unveil the modern world.

Andrew Atkinson re-conceptualized the original source material to create a conceptual work of art. He printed this work during his 2003 Sally R. Bishop Residency. Includes three black-and-white photographs individually mounted on separate pages.
