Codicology is “the study of the book as physical objects” or “archaeology of the book.” This international exhibition, will feature artwork which studies books through a variety of artistic media: sculpture, photography, painting, drawing and collage with a primary focus on the book as sculpture, book as subject, and book as object. When the very nature of the printed word is in question, can we expand the possibilities?
