A Conversation About Book Arts with Brad Freeman

Event Access: https://emory.zoom.us/j/92268475572

Moderated by Lori Spencer, director of the Book Arts/Printmaking MFA Program at The University of the Arts.

The Journal of Artists’ Books has provided a platform of both theoretical and creative expression for more than 25 years. As a forum for the study of artists’ books, JAB published critical and theoretical articles, reviewed artists’ books and exhibitions, and commented on conferences and other book art-related activities. Established in 1994, JAB has regularly showcased creative work in the form of artists’ statements and artist-designed pages and covers.

The Journal of Artists’ Books was created and first published by Brad Freeman to offer a forum for critical discussion about artists’ books. Already a well-established book artist, Brad wanted to find new ways to engage with the artists’ book community and to encourage much-needed critical writing in the field.

Please join us for a conversation with Brad Freeman as he discusses his experience as a book artist, the printer who produced the final artist’s book from Ruth Laxson and Nexus Press, and the founding editor-in-chief of JAB.

Co-sponsored by Emory Libraries and the Guild of Book Workers – Southeast Chapter.
