Ooh, it’s a compelling title. They’re not so secret as to not invite people though:
Join us at the Solihull Arts Complex this spring and delve into a secret library of contemporary artists’ books with an exhibition dedicated to the genre.
Artists’ books and book works, installation and book-related performances will all be showcased
The Secret Library will open on 8 March and loiter inconspicuously until 8 May. Artists involved include Earle D. Swope, Francis Elliott and Cas Serafin, Frans Baake, Jackie Batey, Jatinder Bains, John Bently, Mike Nicholson, Paul Laidler, Sally Alatalo, Sarah Bodman, Sarah Noreen, Simon Goode, Stephen Fowler, Tom Sowden.
There’ll be a Solihull Artists’ Book fair on 20 March too, featuring those who work in book arts and related disciplines (illustrators, publishers, etc). Lined up for that so far are Alix Swan, Artist Book Collective @ BIAD, Catalogue of Concern, David Lasnier, Emma Hardicker, Hoi Polloi, Karoline Rerrie, Lindsay Jenkinson | Gemma Frearson, Rag-and-Bone Shop Books, The Yellow Door Bindery, [insertspace].
