With Susan Fleminger, Brian Bellot, Anne Gilman and Robbin Ami Silverberg. A panel discussion with the artists who use the book format as a container for their ideas, feelings, and aesthetic sensibilities. Meet-and-greet reception Included.
Susan Fleminger is the Deputy Director of the Abrons Arts Center of Henry Street Settlement where she provides artistic leadership for an exhibitions program, an artist in residence workspace program, classes and workshops in the visual arts, and an arts-in-education program for public school children and their teachers.
Anne Gilman has had her work exhibited in the United States, Europe, and Latin America with solo exhibitions in Guadalajara, Mexico, Matanzas and Havana, Cuba and 2-person exhibitions at 5+5 Gallery in Brooklyn and Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica NY. Group exhibitions include Rare Editions at Lehman College Art Gallery, Pratt Prints in Sao Paulo, Brazil, New York/Paris DIALOGUE in Paris and New York, The Missing Link in Berlin and Grabados in Lima, Peru.
Robbin Ami Silverberg, artist and founding director of Dobbin Mill, a hand-papermaking studio, and Dobbin Books, a collaborative artist book studio, which publishes small editions by Silverberg, in collaboration with international artists. Her artwork is divided between solo & collaborative artist books and large paper installations. The work conceptually focuses on word cognition and interlinearity, with an emphasis on process and paper as activated substrate.
Brian Bellot, a collector of images, is a collagist whose dense, unique “illuminated manuscripts” play with found paper fragments, color, pattern, games of all sorts, and music’s repetitions and vibrations. He alters books, especially cardboard children’s books, to act as frames for pages that express a sense of fantasy, play, discovery and humor.
