Can you handle it?

Bodman, Sarah

Abstract

Sarah will explore some aspects of our engagement with materiality through books we feel we must handle, may not want to touch, or books which make us complicit in their narrative through turning or interacting with the pages. Showing examples of artists’ books by Tim Mosely, Roelof Bakker, Ann Tyler, and Super Terrain, she will discuss some aspects of materiality that can unsettle us, upset us, as we slowly realise what ideas or experiences we have been subtly introduced or subjected to.
