San Francisco Center for the Book\u00a0is pleased to announce that we are seeking submissions for\u00a0Reclamation: Artists\u2019 Books on the Environment<\/em>. The exhibition will open at SFCB in Summer 2021 as one of many worldwide actions in response to\u00a0\u201cExtraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss,\u201d<\/em>(link is external)<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0a manifesto issued by Peter Koch in 2018.\u00a0Reclamation: Artists\u2019 Books on the Environment<\/em>\u00a0will subsequently travel, accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with essays by the curator and jurors.<\/p>\n

EXHIBITION THEME<\/strong>\u00a0::\u00a0Reclamation: Artists\u2019 Books on the Environment<\/em>\u00a0will consider our relationship to the environment at this moment on the planet. Book artists create works that involve, educate, and inspire action. Book art takes many forms. Sculptural bookworks, for example, command attention so that viewers are compelled to reflect upon the issues explored in the work. Paginated artists\u2019 books rely on a reader\u2019s touch to encourage a measured exploration of complicated topics, one page opening at a time. Many compelling works integrate pagination with sculptural and material richness to create a multi-sensory reading experience.<\/p>\n

The book form\u2019s expressive strengths offer a perfect vehicle for reclamation, the focus of this show, which refers to the process of claiming something back or of reasserting a right.<\/p>\n
