The Creative Edge, Part 2
Frank Bruno, www.artistfrankbruno.com
They call the common art gallery "The White Box," due to the almost always painted white plaster walls and extremely basic rectangular shape. Most are plain in appearance and always echo in their unfilled ambiance. Most would say fine...it should be this way so that nothing detracts from the art about to adorn the wall space. This is all true but it also should act as an empty canvas for the exhibitor to create with. In this part two of The Creative Edge, I'd like to share more examples of maximizing our temporary stay during the show's term.

The Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf
An outgrowth of the quickly growing scrap/memory book trend, altered books are used by craft-minded workers who favor creating art objects quickly over developing traditional bookbinding or sculptural skills. Typically, such altered books have little to do with the interactive nature of books or the three-dimensional qualities of sculpture. To alter a book and keep it functional as a book requries the skill of a bookbinder. To work with and further develop the original content of an existing book through altering is a practice rarely seen in the current altered book movement. Hoping for a fuller realization of the altered book concept, curator and ArtistsRegister.com member Alicia Bailey invited nine other artists to participate in the Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf project. The artists are skilled and experienced in the craft of bookbinding and the treatment of the book as three-dimensional and interactive artwork. The artists were each sent one volume of the 1912 edition of the Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf. Some volumes were still intact, others needed extensive repairs to still function as books, with most somewhere inbetween. The results of this project will be exhibited at three venues throughout the Denver area (Edge Gallery, Smoky Hills Public Library, and BookBuffs Ltd.) January-April 2006. For more information contact Alicia Bailey at 303.340.2110 or via e-mail at aliciabailey@mac.com.
