Unbound: Books Reimagined
A book contains words and information on pages, bound together and protected by a cover… At least, that's what we generally understand a book to be.
Unbound: Books Reimagined challenges this perception – and explores the many forms a book could take.
This exhibition focuses on two types of books: artists' books and pop-up books.
Artists' books are works of art that utilise the book form. Marvel at a variety of creative categories, such as altered, animated, concertina, illustrated and sculptural books. Unbound: Books Reimagined marks the first artists' books exhibition at QVMAG in over 40 years.
Pop-up books contain three-dimensional features that can be activated by pull tabs, tunnels, or flaps – or simply by opening a page. Enter new worlds of animals and creatures, history and geography, literature and fiction, science, technology and space, and even TV and movie genres – each rendered into intricate and inventive dioramas.
Discover the book as you've never seen it – or imagined it – before.
