*12:00 - 1:00 FSU Strozier Library Special Collections—Session 1: The Artist in Special Collections: Frozen in Time
Join us in FSU Libraries Special Collections & Archives for open discussion of Artist Books
in Special Collections environments. Special Collections Departments have a two-fold
mission of preservation and access to unique and/or rare materials. In collecting Artist Books,
we are potentially freezing objects in time – for preservation sake we may mitigate handling
or restrict actions that the books themselves, in concept and construction, ask for. Do such
collecting and collection management practices diminish to intentions of artists? Materials
from the FSU Libraries Artist Book collections will be on display and available for interaction
and as discussion pieces.
*12:00 - 1:15 Small Craft Advisory Press and Facility for Arts Research—Session 1 University’s Facility for Arts Research (FAR) in Tallahassee, Florida.
Their mission is to enable artists and scholars to create artists’ book editions that push the traditions of the book arts. The tour will include a tour of the facilities and viewing of SCAP publications and works in progress. http://scap.art.fsu.edu/
*1:15 - 2:30 Small Craft Advisory Press and Facility for Arts Research – Session 2 (see description above, same tour repeated twice)
*1:30 - 2:30 Tour Strozier Library Special Collections – Session 2: The Artist in Special Collections: Active Engagement and Collaboration
How do collecting strategies effect student engagement and artistic experimentation? What opportunities for collaboration and cooperation exist? Can we create new partnerships and possibilities? Associate Dean for Special Collections, Katie McCormick, and Rare Books Librarian, Kat Hoarn, will share their perspectives on the possibilities and challenges inherent in developing Artist Book collections and connecting students from a variety disciplines to concepts, designs, and narratives. Open and active discussion will be the basis for this session. Materials from the
FSU Libraries Artist Book collections will be on display and available for interaction and as discussion pieces.
