Event Series The Book As Art

The Book As Art v.12: Rock, Paper, Scissors

Fourth Floor Gallery of the Decatur Library 215 Sycamore Street, Decatur, United States

The Book As Art v.12: Rock, Paper, Scissors is the twelfth edition of an art show celebrating books: objects that, in an increasingly digital world, stubbornly survive. With over 40 artworks on display from across the country, this exhibition interprets the concept of the book and invites the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where ideas, words, and symbols are transformed and are transfigured. Artists are challenged to look inward and outward, to interpret and embrace the childlike fun of this seemingly simple, classic game that blends history, nature, and mathematics with a bit of luck.
