Jeff Peachey

Book Boxes: Historic, Practical, and Artistic
Marilyn Sward Visiting Artist
Public Lecture: thursday, May 23, 2013 6:30 p.m.
Location: TBA

Many rare, fine press and artist books are housed in boxes for their protection and presentation. This talk will survey many styles of housing, from Ethiopian manuscript cases to the modern machine made corrugated clamshell. In the twentieth century, the drop spine box itself has become an element for artistic expression, often reflecting or commenting on its contents. Peachey will discuss "a wide variety of innovative—and a few borderline insane—ways to box a book."
