Directed: The Intersections of Book, Film and Visual Narrative
On display May 17 through August 4, 2013
Directed: The Intersection of Book, Film and Visual Narrative explores the common territory of two engaging artistic practices: book arts and film. Historically as well as in contemporary practice, artists blur and perforate the boundaries between these two disciplines, both of which share a foundation of sequential visual narrative.
Directed is presented in conjunction with Book Art Biennial 2013.
