2009

November 6 – December 5th, "Somewhere Far From Habit: The Poet & The Artist's Book"

An unprecedented celebration of the arts, building a truly thrilling partnership by creating a collaboration between some of the country's most inspiring poets and most exciting book artists, bringing these two communities together. The show pairs ten poets with ten book artists, for which the artists are creating artist's books inspired by the poets' work. This collaboration exemplifies the beautiful risk and celebration of life found in both art and poetry, a truly exciting coming together of two artistic communities who share a mutual love: the love of the book.

Poets: Joy Harjo, Aaron Smith, Natasha Trethewey, Robert Pinsky, Michael Burkard, Ethelbert Miller, Tom Sleigh, Lucie Brock-Broido, Liam Rector and Jason Shinder.

Artists: Buzz Spector, Richard Minsky, Ben Blount, Kerri Cushman, Audrey Niffenegger, Margot Ecke, Shawn Sheehy, Hedi Kyle, Karen Kunc, and Beatrice Coron.

The premiere will host forty pieces, four from each artist, one to two of which will be inspired by the poets' work, and two additional artist books of the artists' selection. Letter-pressed broadsides of each of the inspiration poems will also be included in the exhibit.
