One wall of the exhibit was devoted to Ib Penick's exploration of every facet of pop-up production. He thought of every detail, right down to the height of the chair for each worker!

Not everything was decades old! Here is a prototype pill bug from an upcoming artist book created by paper engineer, Shawn Sheehy.

With a backdrop of Vojtech Kubasta's original art and photographs, Ellen Rubin introduces Dagmar Vrkljan with Columbia College gallery coordinator, Bill Drendel looking on.

As you can see, it was standing room only, as everyone crowded around the cases of art to hear stories from Kubasta's career by his daughter, Dagmar.

Of the hundreds of products that Kubasta created we were able to find a new favorite with this silly polar scene!

One of the main forces behind the show, John Railing was a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes as he shared the backstories to many of the pop-up book behind the glass cases.
