About Project Gutenberg Project
About Project Gutenberg Project Project Gutenberg Project Description. Commentaries on the pace of everyday life are far from unique. But remain important as humans increasingly forfeit physical relationships for digital immediacy. The Project Gutenberg Project celebrates the beauty of book structures. Honors traditional book art processes, exposes overlooked materials, and draws attention to the gratification that comes from tactile experiences. Using the remains of books scanned into digital libraries. Project Gutenberg Project speaks to the lack of physicality in contemporary art and the trend toward fetishizing book objects. Full of irony, the project both embraces and criticizes technology while elevating and violating its subject matter. Equal parts commentary, prophecy and preservation. The Project Gutenberg Project compels viewers to reflect on their interactions not only with books, but with all physical objects in their lives.

Barbara Milman | Reader’s Art 12
Barbara Milman Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home Barbara Milman- I work primarily in two media. Prints and handmade artist books (either in very small editions or unique). The books all have a message or story that is told both by the books as art objects and by their text and images. The message, for the past several years, has been about climate change. My specific concerns have been with the fate of coral reefs, the warming of the oceans and the Arctic. The effect of climate change on different environments and species. My books are experimental in form. Most recently I have been making books out of old cigar boxes, which I alter and into which I put smaller books, or texts and images. The books are multi-media, incorporating monoprints, linocuts, solar plate etchings, hand-stamped type, decorative paper, digital photography, and digital design. At times I use some traditional bookmaking methods. Such as accordion books or Coptic bindings, but for the most part, techniques are developed for each book to fit the design and the message.

An orderly procession
An orderly procession Project Gutenberg, the online archive of literature, ironically destroys printed books in order to salvage the information. Ironically, the process turns well ordered, collated text into a collection of dis-bound, chaotic materials that may or may not convey conventional information to us. With the project Gutenberg project Jeff Rathermel has collected this discarded material and compiled and re-ordered it into comprehensible collections of information. He has reconsidered the book in all its parts and has chosen attributes to highlight. Project Gutenberg project by Jeff Rathermel September 23- November 18, 2011 Opening Reception Friday, September 23, 7-10pm Susan Hensel Biography – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Learn about contemporary art by Susan Hensel. Susan Hensel received her BFA from the University of Michigan in 1972 with a double major in painting and sculpture and a concentration in ceramics. With a history, to date, of over 200 exhibitions, more than 30 of them solo, twenty garnering awards, Hensel’s desire to communicate ideas through art continues to be a powerful motivator. Hensel’s artwork is known and collected nationwide, represented in collecting libraries and museums as disparate as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and The Getty Research Institute. [...]

Progress toward performance
Progress toward performance Progress toward performance. Intrepid. Deliberate. Calm. The steps toward the performance Friday are being taken. Rather like planning for a mountainous trek. The Sherpa's are gathered (Dale Kennedy, Dean Ebben Senior, Me), the materials organized and assessed. Weights and measures are taken. The scene, from the metaphoric peak I seem to have imagined, is being set.
