BookBound: The Art of Books and Printmaking

I have many works in BookBound, an exhibition focusing on artists’ books and printmaking at the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood; the show will be up through August 21, 2022.

Image depicts a long wall with six large prints, a further wall with an arrangement of screenprinted posters, and two guests looking at the works. — My large-format book of individual pages, It Was to Be a Glittering City (a short story that I wrote), is installed on the left wall; the works are screenprint monotypes with solvent transfer. On the far end of the gallery is a wall installation of screenprinted posters by Kristin Thiele, and two gallery guests (my husband and daughter).

This image depicts a distanced view of BookBound from the center of the gallery looking towards the entrance; works on on the walls and also on pedestals. — You can see the same works of mine above on the far wall of this image; that is the entrance of the gallery space.

Image depicts a wall of prints arranged salon-style against a tan wall, with partial views of two vitrine tables in front. — I have five works on the wall in the image above; they are the five unframed (hung from magnets) works that are rightmost on the wall. The works are a combination of printmaking techniques as well as some gouache and are all unique monotypes created without any digital processes whatsoever.

Additionally, I contributed some archival materials to the show from Turn-Based Press and also from the DWNTWN ArtHouse, which is the building in which Turn-Based Press used to be housed, along with BFI, the TM Sisters, and Dimensions Variable.

This image depicts the contents of a vitrine; they include an inkjet photo, a harcover book, two screenprints and a pronto-plate lithograph. — Archival materials from Turn-Based Press–from left to right: a lithograph from an illustration by Steven Appleby, from “The Good Inn”, written by Black Francis and Josh Frank, a screenprint, also by Appleby, from “The Good Inn”, a hardcover copy of “The Good Inn” [both were printed for a book-reading for the book’s US launch], an inkjet image of KH during the “Live Printing with the TM Sisters” event, shortly after the DWNTWN ArtHouse opened, a screenprint of a drawing of two drying racks and a hotplate, from the initial fundraising edition “We Need!”

A close up view of screenprinted posters with a digitally printed event poster in the center. — The poster in the center was advertising an event at the DWNTWN ArtHouse that was also sponsored by the record label Other Electricities; the poster is digitally printed and was designed by my TBP Co-Director, Thom Wheeler Castillo.

The show was curated by Meaghan Kent; some information about the show is below.

BookBound: The Art of Books and Printmaking examines the book as a sculptural art object and the many forms of art expression found in printed matter. Recognizing the uniqueness of books through their drawings and design, this exhibition seeks to address the accessibility of publications, the “specialness” of a rare art book, the myriad ways that illustration interprets words, and the history of education through visual imagery.
