New York, NY: Center for Book Arts, 2016. paperback. Center for Book Arts. 8.5 x 5.25 inches. paperback. unpaginated. Queering the BibliObject presents works by contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender artists who explore the book as an object, removed from both the narrative function and cover-to-cover form of the traditional artists book. A mix of assemblage, drawing, performance, photography, sculpture, and video, the works are organized around four formal and conceptual approaches: restricting access to the book object; repurposing bound, printed matter as material or medium; reclaiming the books context and content in order to reimagine narrative; and representing the self through, and/or relationship with, the book object.
