WHEN: 15 July 2010 (application deadline); August 2010 (Biennale)
WHO: International/National book artists
"We live in the 21st century, the century of technology, of computers and mass media, all of which are separating us and our children from the written word. In a few years, if this direction of our civilized world continues, books will disappear.” - Dorothea Fleiss
The European International Book Art Biennale has been promoting and encouraging unconventional attitudes about books. It deals with book-objects, book-installations, one-offs, author's books, artist's books, writer's books, experimental and limited editions, fine press books, etc.
The core of the project is an exhibition composed of works selected in a competition and made by the artists invited by the organizers. After the premiere (which usually takes place in Satu- Mare Art Museum) the exhibition is shown in many prestigious venues (art galleries and libraries) throughout Romania and abroad. Carefully and unconventionally designed catalogues containing color pictures of exhibited items, artists' short biographies and opinions about their work, various essays and reviews, a lot of pieces of useful information valuable both for ordinary book lovers and those ones professionally dealing with books, are very important for promoting the idea of book art.
