Reception: Monday, April 5 (5-8 p.m.)

This Exhibition investigates the role of the book in the contemporary art world. For this show, the curators have expanded on the traditional definition of a book: they have defined the term ”book” loosely as a vehicle for information that is organized into ”sections.” The exhibition includes unique traditional books, altered books, sculptural books, digital books, and installation-, photography-, and performance-based books. Curated by EMU faculty members Leslie Atzmon and Ryan Molloy, the exhibition features the work of a group of national and international artists and designers.

DAYTUM is a relatively new program that allows you to track data from your day-to-day life. The site takes data you enter and visually represents the data via graphs, charts, and color that result in a unique graphic landscape. If you are interested in incorporating data into your work or are looking for ways to step back and breath new life into all-too-familiar ideas, DAYTUM could be an interesting tool to provide you with new perspective (or a fun afternoon diversion!).
