Artist books

On February 4th there was an event in our school.

It was an exposition of artist books in small sizes from artist from all around the world.

There also was a part with books of asturian artists.

Most of them contained more illustrations than text, this makes to books understandable by anyone, fully accessible.

The topics were from serious things such war or social criticism, to nature, literature or funny things.

There was a high variety of styles and techniques, but the most peculiar was the formats the books were shown like statements, pop up or extra mini-sized.

This is a way to know better how the art is interpreted in each country.

Nearly to the closing there was a presentation of books made by students of the school.

It’s the first time that we made a collaborational work, and it won’t be the last time because was a success.

This collection of 12 books were short tales from Hans Christian Andersen, with illustrations of the alums of 2nd of Illustration, edited by the students of Art Edition, and exposed with the help of the department of  Ephemeral Art.
