MINNEAPOLIS—Jeff Rathermel, interim executive director, announced that Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) will present the second Book Art Biennial in summer 2011. Set to take place the last weekend of July, the Biennial will focus on the theme of extended engagement. The MCBA Prize, which reaches to all corners of the globe and attracts national and international book artists alike, will also be awarded.

“Last year’s Biennial was a great success. We were very impressed with the level of creativity and quality present,” said Rathermel. “This is such a great opportunity for the field and for book artists across the world. I am positive that the 2011 event will be equally as engaging and continue to highlight the vitality of the art form.”

The Book Art Biennial will consist of panel discussions, academic presentations and artist exhibitions. Participants will explore the true power of books, focusing on the sequence, movements and the continuous narrative that engages readers.

The MCBA Prize is the first honor to recognize expertise, innovation and magnificence in book art from across all aspects of the field. The 2009 winning artist, Veronika Schäpers from Tokyo, was selected from 113 submissions across 10 nations.

The 2011 jurors include artist and Arizona State University Assistant Professor Phil Zimmerman; artist, printmaker and Oregon College of Art and Craft Associate Professor Barbara Tetenbaum; and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Curator Anne Dorothee (Doro) Boehme. More information about the Book Art Biennial and MCBA Prize is available at http://www.mnbookarts.org.
