We had an awesome class session the other day at Peabody showcasing some amazing artist books to amazing and talented MICA students! Students had the chance to study a wide range of artist books spanning some 600 years of book history, including poems printed on pasta and on strips of paper inside a wine bottle. Who says old libraries can’t be fun?

Long-Bin Chen, New York Buddha Project, 2007
Allow me a moment to weep quietly at how brilliant Long-Bin Chen’s work is. I adore that he used old New York phone books for his work.
