2014 CBAA Juried Members’ Exhibition Call For Entries
To be held during the 2014 CBAA Conference, Present [ation] Public [ation] Install [ation] investigates the conference theme, Print, Produce, Publish, by exploring how book artists make work public through installation. If one intention of publishing is dispersal of information, might installation be considered a form of publication? What are innovative design, production, and curatorial solutions to the problems inherent to displaying books in a gallery? Works on display examine diverse ways in which curators, artists, and writers approach production and presentation of book art.
JURORS:
Betty Bright, independent curator and scholar
Daniel Kelm, poetic scientist and founder of Garage Annex School for Book Arts
ELIGIBILITY:
Submissions by CBAA members are welcomed in any format suitable for display on the wall (ready-to-hang), in 29″l x 29″w x 35″h cases, or on a monitor. Editioned work that does not need to be returned to the artists, such as zines, can be displayed as handling copies. Performance and/or installation art will also be considered. The jury and exhibition committee reserve the right to decline work based on the venue’s ability to host the work due to limitations of space and/or technology.
PRIZES & AWARDS:
Three student and three regular member awards will be presented.
SUBMISSIONS:
Entries must be submitted via the online submission manager: https://cbaa.submittable.com/submit

The Northern Arizona University Art Museum presents “Tangibles: Beauty and Purpose in the Art of the Book,” an exhibition to run from September through November of 2013. This exhibition is created in the belief that the physical artifact of a book can offer sensory experiences and imaginative encounters that the realm of digital facsimiles and “virtual” art cannot.
The exhibition will include works that go beyond self-expression to engage with political and cultural issues in the contemporary world. The visual arts remain a compelling arena in which to effect criticism, reflection and change in a time of war, economic inequality and environmental destruction, to name only a few of the themes represented in the show. Pieces chosen for the exhibition will employ traditional media of paint, ink, paper, woodcuts, and engravings, but we are equally interested in works that fall outside expected definitions of what a book might look like or how one might experience a book – creatively defined – as an aesthetic object.
Co-Jurors:
David Williams, Professor of Fine Art in Printmaking. School of Art, Northern Arizona University
Susan kae Grant, Professor of Art. Department of Visual Art, Texas Woman’s University
