The Book As Art v.13: Mixed Messages
September 12 – October 25, 2025
The Book as Art V.13: Mixed Messages is the thirteenth edition of an art show celebrating books – objects that, in an increasingly digital world, stubbornly survive. Mixed Messages draws on the layered complexities of language, saying one thing but meaning another. In a world inundated with myriad ways to communicate and connect, messages are muddled, signals crossed, meanings distorted. Ambiguity is the native tongue of nuance. The book, as both object and idea, holds space for these contradictions.
