Many books document art. Books themselves can be art. Artists have written books, make books, and bookmaking is often considered its own art form. In atypical fashion, this author conversation delves beyond the shelves for a closer look at print, design, and literary culture.
As part of this year's Texas Book Festival, join The Contemporary Austin and hear from interdisciplinary artists Sean Ripple, Jared Ritz, and Vico Tadeo Puentes for a panel exploring the enduring love for print. Together, they'll discuss what led them to the world of print, and what opportunities and challenges lie ahead for physical media in an increasingly digital age.
