"The Book Lovers" Exhibition
EFA Project Space
This event has ended.
"The Book Lovers" is a multi-disciplinary exhibition, series of events, and library, all rising out of the phenomenon of artist novels. "The Book Lovers'" curators embarked on this project in order to create public awareness about the rising artistic trend of artists turning to the fiction novel as their medium.
Through an onsite collection of 140 novels written by artists and an installation of artworks in varied media that each link to select novels by their same artists, the curators of "The Book Lovers" invite us to think about literature as a tool for creating expanded narratives in the visual arts.
