RECENT WORKS: ART QUILTS
Paradigm Quilters
Paradigm is a group of 18 artists from southeast Michigan who are dedicated to the concept of quilt as art. Although most of the art is textile based, the membership uses many techniques in its production. The work ranges from what is easily recognized as a quilt, to assemblage and sculpture. Most group members work in the arts, teaching, lecturing or selling their work. They meet regularly to share ideas, critique each other’s work and organize group projects and exhibitions.

(UN)BOUND: ARTIST BOOKS & PRINTS
Book Artists of Ann Arbor
This exhibit, curated by Ben Reynaert, explores contemporary bookmaking as an art form. Within the artists’ book movement, there has been an explosion of alternative types of bindings and printing methods that change traditional codex (separate pages bound together with a cover) by altering type, image, shape and structure. Words, images and form contribute to the meaning of the book as art in a new way. Tearing, folding, and binding are just some of the ways that books can be transformed to create a new art object that brings up the question of what a book can be.
University Hospital Main Corridor Gallery, West, display cases, Floor 2. Open daily from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
