The New Mexico Capitol Rotunda Gallery in Santa Fe presents an exhibit of
contemporary book art from Friday, September 6, through Friday, December 13,
2013. All of the artists are members of
the Santa Fe Book Arts Group (BAG). They used a wide range of materials and
techniques to create the books, including a variety of bindings (accordion,
Coptic, longstitch, stab), content (calligraphy, photography, poetry), forms
(pop-ups, altered books, boxed books, sculptures), and paper (handmade,
commercial, decorated).
Dr.
Cynthia Sanchez, Executive Director of the Capitol Art Foundation, is the
curator. This is the fifth time that the New Mexico Capitol Art Foundation
invited Santa Fe BAG to exhibit in the juried show.
