Press Release: A Buncha Book Artists

Press Release: A Buncha Book Artists
The 16th Annual Fall Show 
This years guest juror: Chris Adamson

We live in an evolving digital world. With the increasing amount of online news, ebooks, and virtual reality technology, it would seem that printing and bookmaking are simply becoming obsolete, that people are transitioning to digital lifestyles, that humans no longer need these archaic art forms. ABBA’s annual fall show titled, “Press Release” for 2016, showcases a collection of our members’ most exceptional books and prints. These vastly diverse pieces from interdisciplinary artists and members of the community serve as a testament to the twenty-first century resurgence of the printed book, reminding the audience that bookmaking and printmaking can never be fully replaced by the digital medium.

Artists in the show: Brandy Burdock, Nik Crawford, M. Antonio Carpenter-Cosand, Angie Dell, Lane Drury, Samantha Fresquez, Karla Elling, Louis Fisher, Monica Garcia, Lena Klett, Shay Harrelson, Thomas Locke Hobbs, Christine Holm, Kate Horvat, Emily Longbrake, Daniel Mayer, Anthony Mead, Ethan Rafal, Megan Rhea, Alexis Rainery, Kelsey Reiman, Emily Ritter, Michelle Segal, Jessica Spring, Rossitza Todorova, Hailey Tang, Shelly White, Karen Zimmerman and invited artists from Wasted Inc Zine Distro.
