(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.

(Center for Book Arts) MASTERS OF THE CRAFT: WORKS BY INSTRUCTORS OF BOOK ARTS.
New York Center for Book Arts 1994 square 12mo. stiff paper wrappers 24 pages.
This is a catalogue for an exhibition held in New York from January 14 to March 25, 1994, which contained the work of printers, bookbinders and papermakers who are all instructors of the book arts, as well as artists in their own right. Some of the participating artists were Marcia Ciro, Nadja Press, Peter and Donna Thomas, and Mary Phelan. Contemporary book artists have long appreciated the great value of learning bookmaking from an accomplished master of the form, yet recognized that the best teacher is not the one who merely has the technical expertise to create a well made object, but rather the artist who is able to reveal an original sensibility in his or her work. Though this exhibition affirmed a collective respect for the traditions of bookmaking among all whose book works are shown, it also demonstrated the power of the book to express the unique vision of each artist. These works were created by the craftspeople that link us to the history of the book as they inspire a new generation to define the book in their own time. Photocopied catalogue with translucent endpaper and blue paper covers.

(Center for Book Arts) PAPER, ART AND THE BOOK
New York Center for Book Arts 1996 large 12mo. paperback pamphlet, hand sewn (36) pages
This exhibition, held in New York from September 28 to December 7, 1996, reveals the innovative ways artists utilize paper to express ideas conveyed in books and broadsides. Rather than viewing paper as merely a neutral substrate, many of these works employ unusual or evocative papers that integrate the medium's physical components, fiber, watermark, decorative elements, weight and texture with the final work's text and image, or even guide the structure and intent of the book itself. In all the works in this exhibition, paper is a form of tangible memory, and demonstrates human efforts to convert the products of the earth into a medium for expressing the thoughts of one person to another, one generation to those who will follow. Pamphlet stitched with letterpress printed covers, black and white illustrations.

(Center for Book Arts) RECOVERY: THE HOSPITAL DRAWINGS OF ALFONSO OSSORIO
(New York Center for Book Arts 1995) 17.625 x 16.875 hardcover Not paginated.
First edition limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. Alfonso A. Ossorio (1916-1990) was an abstract expressionist artist who was born in Manila and produced a body of work that remained consistently international in scope. His early fascination with Surrealism gave way to Abstract Expressionism although he continued to be influenced by his native Philippine Catholic folk art as well as the modernist techniques of Informel and assemblage. Instead of completely abandoning one set of principles for another, he would continue to incorporate those features he most favored into his next series of compositions which resulted in complex and multifaceted works.

In failing health, he was hospitalized from January 17 to February 8, 1989 and December 3 to 5, 1990. Given some markers and watercolor paper, he began a series of drawings that would become this striking collection of images. The publication was designed by Richard Minsky, with texts by Rose Slivka, Dr. Lewis Thomas and B.H. Friedman. Each print, mounted and matted on Stonehenge paper, was printed on Permalife paper and authenticated in the margin with the seal of the Ossorio Foundation.
