The New Jersey Book Arts
Symposium and Exhibition

 On November 3rd, over 100 artists, collectors, and book lovers gathered at the John Cotton Dana Library on the Newwark-Rutgers University Campus for the 12th Annual New Jersey Book Arts Symposium and Exhibition. Some of the artists and presenters in attendance this year were Ann Montanaro, William Dane, Ellen Rubin, Maria Pisano, Chuck Miley, Ed Hutchins, Debra Weier, Kyle Olmon, and Judith Brodsky. The day was packed with fun and informative talks about artist books and methods and the energy levels were high as the crowd was packed with many familiar and friendly faces. Below are some photos from the symposium along with the opening reception of the accompanying exhibition curated by Amanda Thackray. The show just came down this January 7th, but hopefully these images will get everyone in the area excited for the next symposium in 2007!
Here we see the staggered display cases of many of the above mentioned book artists and collectors. Program organizer and pop-up promoter, Ann Montanaro, shows off many of her favorite movable artist books and business cards. Crowd favorite, Ed Hutchins, proved a live demonstration of the creation of one of his artist books that was created from a single sheet of paper!
Ellen Rubin, the Pop-up Lady, filled her case with marvelous examples of unique movable books for dozens are artists. Maria Pisano presents her charming tunnel book on the Holland Tunnel. Talk about a perfect fit of subject matter and medium! Edin Velez explored themes of identity and dislocation though these meticulous movable creations.
Chuck Miley shares some of his colorful interpretations of fairy tales and classic children’s stories. Miley’s tunnel books and layered pop-ups were accompanied by his explorations in Polyester resin books. Debra Weier’s presentation was over 200 slides (!) and showed the development of some of her string aided pop-up books shown here that later became larger than life art installations
