Boundless: The Art of the Book is a dynamic exhibition exploring the rich and ever-evolving world of the book as an art form. Featuring artist books, altered books, and book illustration, Boundless showcases imaginative approaches to storytelling, visual poetry, personal narratives, and inventive book structures. From traditional formats to sculptural and unconventional book structures, the exhibition showcases a wide range of techniques—including letterpress, etching, monoprint, painting, photography, and mixed media—to explore themes of memory, identity, and imagination.
