Word Play:
Exploring the Human Fascination of Language on the Printed Page
November 6th - 27th, 2009
(This exhibition will be held in conjunction with The Richmond Zine Festival)
Opening Reception: First Friday, November 6th 7:00PM
WordPlay explores the human fascination of language on the printed page. This diverse collection of artists,
craftspeople and designers spans the globe—from India to the UK and throughout the US—including internationally recognized artists Ken Campbell and Ed Fella. More locally, work of David Freed and VCU's Bowe House Press illustrates and illuminates the written word. From the experimental and unconventional to traditional methods of letterpress and bookmaking, the artists in this exhibition playfully and poetically mark the page with words that both provoke and evoke.
