Must unfortunately be cancelled!

Two-day workshop for all creatives who want to dive into the world of artists’ books and turn an idea into a book dummy. The workshop takes a look at the practical and conceptual aspects of bookmaking. The focus will be on
the design, composition, sequencing, and materials. The goal of the workshop is to go home with a finished artist book dummy.

In the context of the exhibition Silvia Bächli. Along Long Lines.

Cabinet exhibition at the Center for Artists’ Publications

The different use of color is the theme of the two Dutch artists Nan Groot Antink (*1954) and Fransje Killaars (*1959). Nan Groot Antink works with colors that she produces herself from plants and other natural materials. For the artist, the material aspects of plant dyes and the way they are applied are defining elements – for her paintings, watercolors, installations, and prints, as well as her 2021 artist book.

The basis of Fransje Killaars’ work is paint based on colored, hand-woven fabric panels. In her artist books, objects and installations, she uses textiles as source material to draw viewers into her world.
