This exhibition features innovative and diverse pop-up books from the Book Arts & Private Press Collection. The works on view demonstrate how contemporary book artists are using the book structure to inform their art. Of special interest are works by Philadelphia-based artist Colette Fu, whose work explores her Nuosu Yi ancestry and the cultural traditions of diverse ethnic minority communities in China. Fu will be teaching an introduction to pop-up book structures in McCabe Library on March 28.
