Exhibited works will explore the materiality of the object, layers of meaning within, communication and cultural connections, design potential, and possible extinction of books in today’s tech-driven world. A partial list of exhibiting artists includes Long-Bin Chen, Andy Hayes, Wendy Wahl, and Jacqueline Rush Lee.
