SUMMARY:Craft & Conceptual Art: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join SFCB in welcoming curator Megan N. Liberty at the opening of her latest exhibition Craft & Conceptual Art: Reshaping the Legacy of Artists’ Books \nLight refreshments will be served; opening remarks at 7 pm. \nAbout the exhibition: Craft & Conceptual Art: Reshaping the Legacy of Artists’ Books focuses on the intertwined legacies of book art centers across the US whose primary goal has been to teach the craft practices of book arts\, as well as other institutions focused on distribution and collecting. Tracing the foundation and production of book art organizations across the US—including Center for Book Arts in 1974\, Printed Matter and Franklin Furnace in 1976\, Minnesota Center for Book Arts in 1983\, and San Francisco Center for the Book in 1996—this exhibition shows craft and conceptual art not to be opposites\, but rather two ends of a spectrum of book art practices. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog featuring additional contributions by Sur Rodney (Sur)\, David Senior\, Kayleigh Perkov\, and Tara Aisha Willis\, and a selection of reprinted historical texts. Catalogs will be available for purchase at the opening reception.

SUMMARY:Celebrating 2020 Vision & SFCB's Design Binding Intensive Students
DESCRIPTION:This event celebrates the conclusion of SFCB’s month-long Design Binding Intensive workshop\, which took place in July 2022. Workshop instructor Dominic Riley will give a brief talk; this year’s student cohort will share their completed fine bindings and stories related to creating their individual works of art.  \n2020 was the one-hundredth anniversary of the Society of Wood Engravers(link is external). To mark the occasion\, Pat Randle of the Nomad Press (link is external)collaborated with collector Nigel Hamway to create this remarkable book. In an edition of 340 copies\, 2020 Vision is being hailed as one of the most important private press books of our time. Hamway commissioned nineteen contemporary artists to create a new engraving\, also asking them to choose a historical artist who has inspired them. Additionally\, Hamway provided original blocks from his own collection for the printing of the book; Oak Knoll Press writes about 2020 Vision “The result\, printed by Nomad Letterpress at the Whittington Press\, places the engravings of twentieth-century greats – John Farleigh\, John Nash\, Monica Poole\, Geoffrey Wales\, Gertrude Hermes et al. – alongside today’s artists and presents the viewer with a snapshot of the changing nature of the engraver’s craft.”  \nOver the course of SFCB’s month-long immersive class\, students worked through the steps involved in making a fine design binding in a small group setting. In-class lessons addressed complex design execution\, leather decoration\, creative gold tooling\, and box making. Additionally\, workshop students worked closely with instructor Dominic Riley\, acquiring tips and tricks of the trade garnered from Riley’s thirty years as a fine binder\, conservator\, artist\, teacher\, and exhibitor. \n*Masks are encouraged but not required at SFCB events.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Cognitive Distance--The Bookworks and Thoughtforms of Timothy Ely
DESCRIPTION:Compelling\, contemplative\, and visionary: these are words that have been used to describe the work of artist and bookbinder Timothy C. Ely. Showcasing approximately forty manuscript books\, drawings and prints created by Ely over the past fifty years\, Cognitive Distance: the Bookworks and Thoughtforms of Timothy C. Ely introduces gallery visitors to Ely’s extraordinary version of world-building. Drawing from traditional fine binding\, printmaking\, and manuscript books\, Timothy C. Ely has developed his own hybrid ways of creating work\, all the while remaining true to his artistic vision. The techniques and materials of fine bookbinding are immediately apparent in his work; by pushing these traditional aspects in new directions\, the resulting works inspire and astonish.
