From the Center: On Community and the Practice of Making (2015 Winter Book - Deluxe Edition)
In celebration of MCBA's thirtieth anniversary in 2015, our twenty-fifth Winter Book features writing by members of MCBA's artist community for the first time in its history. In a collection of short essays and poems, contributors reflect on what it means to work in a community and practice book arts processes such as binding, letterpress printing, and papermaking. Why is community important? How is the artist's hand present in process-intensive craft and in conceptual book work? The writings discuss the importance of sharing skills and practices with others as well as the exchanges that occur between people creating work in the same space.
Curated and designed by Anna Bredeson, Monica Edwards Larson, and Regula Russelle, this book was printed by Edwards Larson and Russelle with interns Jennifer Bilton, Emma Klajbor, Marisa Oyen, and Gretchen Thayer in MCBA's print studios. Many volunteers came together to bind this edition around the tables of the Bindery.
Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe includes three editioned broadsides stored in a portfolio which is nested with the book in a clamshell box made with the help of several expert volunteers, with production coordinated by Duncan Campbell at Campbell-Logan Bindery.
