SUMMARY:AFK Reading Intimately: What is an Artists' Book? (Activating Artists' Books)
DESCRIPTION:Think books are just for reading? Think again! The Small 
 Special Collections Library is home to hundreds of contemporary artworks 
 that use the form and features of the book to convey meaning in creative 
 and unexpected ways.  Unlike paintings\, sculptures\, and other forms of 
 visual art\, artists’ books can provide a uniquely intimate interactive 
 experience for the reader/viewer. Explore how artists’ books utilize the 
 size\, structure\, sequencing\, and materiality of the book to address 
 narratives and concepts requiring an intimate means of creative expression. 
  \n\nThis session will introduce participants to Artists' Books\, and will 
 be the first of multiple sessions throughout this academic year that invite 
 you to engage with the UVA Library's incredible collection of artists' 
 books! Join us for a series of hands-on workshops exploring artists’ 
 books in the library’s collection. The series will culminate in a 
 book-making workshop in the Spring.  You are invited to join any or all of 
 the sessions in the series.\n\n \n\nThis event is generously supported by 
 the UVA Arts Council. It is one of a series of events that will be held 
 this academic year\, as part of the Library's 2026-2027 arts initiative\, 
 AFK: Away From Keyboard\, which urges students\, the UVA community\, and 
 Charlottesville to experiment with creating intentional connections between 
 body and mind. We want to know: what happens to the way we perceive\, 
 learn\, make\, and research when we're AFK? How does tuning into our bodies 
 deepen and expand research? Less blue light\; more insight.
