August 10, 2012, Friday - In Association: Collaboration in the Book Arts Opening Reception at MCBA

Time:  6:00pm - 9:00pm

Location: Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1011 Washington Avenue South

Join us THIS FRIDAY to celebrate the opening of In Association: Collaboration in the Book Arts

"By its very nature, collaboration is about transformative experience. Ideas are brought forward and expanded upon and generated into something new. My work with Tom Rose has been about the transformation of events, images and text into the dynamic form of the book." – Wilber H. "Chip" Schilling
 
"Collaboration is integral to my work. My role is akin to that of the conductor of a small ensemble in which each member has a unique voice. The goal is to bring out the best in each player and excellence in the final composition. There is synergy and magic in that." – Harriet Bart

The book arts are, at heart, a collaborative discipline. Join us this Friday, August 10 from 6 to 9pm to celebrate the opening of four exhibitions wherein the power and potential of collaborative artmaking is revealed:

Thomas Rose and Wilber H. Schilling on view in the MCBA Star Tribune Foundation Gallery

The Collaborative Work of Harriet Bart on view in the Open Book Cowles Literary Commons

The Manulua Project on view in the Open Book lobby gallery

Burlesque of North America and Permanent Art & Design Group on view in the Open Book lobby gallery
