Members Juried Exhibition
CBAA Members’ Juried Exhibition
Intersections: Book Arts as Convergence
Carroll Gallery, Newcomb Art Department, Tulane University
January 2 – Feb. 6, 2020
Opening reception and awards ceremony, January 2 at 6:30 p.m.
The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood. -Rebecca Solnit
This exhibition seeks to explore areas of convergence, diversity, inclusion and intersectionality through the Book Arts. The CBAA conference itself is an intersection of many diverse voices and approaches, with a rich variety of cultures, individuals and institutions represented. In addition to the academic tradition of the CBAA, this year’s conference in New Orleans celebrates the non-traditional, the outsider/outlier, the expression of our culture in our lives and in our artwork. Whether it is an exploration of the intersection of text and image, structure and content, or artist and viewer, through exhibiting these works, we celebrate the crossroads, overlaps, conversations, and potential for shared experience and expansion.
