East <---> Midwest

so here it is, our first attempt at an exchange show as seen through the eyes of us. we threw out all the stops on this...cookies, carrot sticks, fruit platter. the opening was also pleasant because it allowed for us to touch the books, fondly caressing their handmadeness, rubbing them ever so gently across our rosy winter red face cheeks.

East <---> Midwest

an art exchange between University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

and the Interdisciplinary Book & Paper Arts Program at Columbia College Chicago

i don't have the UA artist's names on me right now so if anyone has questions please feel free to ask your nearest P.I.T. representitive.

a vitrine full of goodness
you guessed it...another vitrine full of goodness
wall case with books, broadsides, and little tough man drawings
the long hallway
the quadratic cases
offset, letterpress, photo, and handwritten all in one
magnetic book in the middle (personal favorite)

postcards and a dapper shadow
quadratic cases but from their movie star side
the "untouchable" case
the corner is sharp

15 bookmarks (only 13 shown)


This is a great beginning to what hopefully becomes an annual event. Part of the reason the gallery was started was to have a space where we could not only showcase our work, but also have opportunites to get to know other programs. Within the year we hope to have exchange shows with University of Alabama and the University of Arizona. (We're going for the A states)

Until tomorrow.
