About the exhibit:  Spaces in Sequence: A Look at the Book as a Medium The books included in this exhibit span diverse themes, from personal identity to cultural identity, from break-ups to immigration narratives, memories of war, the conceptual side of owning and driving cars, and breeding standards and body image. The artist books approach their subjects with binding and materials choices that reflect these themes, and in doing so, expose, question, and rework the power structures that are entangled in each perspective. We are interested in using the book as a physical space to explore vast and varied themes, structures, modes of expression, highbrow and lowbrow ideologies—in what a book can do, be, and inspire. About the exhibit curator AB Gorham: AB Gorham is a book artist and writer, originally hailing from Montana. She holds an MFA in Book Arts (2014) from The University of Alabama, where she also received her MFA in Poetry (2012). She has taught bookbinding, letterpress, and printed book classes, which compliment her own book arts practices. She is the Manager at Black Rock Press, and Administrative Faculty of Book Arts at The University of Nevada, Reno.
