Francesca Woodman in Books Revisited at Center for Book Arts, New York
Each of the works in this exhibition use existing books as raw material, examining ways that narrative, history and knowledge occupy space within and beyond the material and conceptual boundaries of books. Francesca Woodman created a number of artist’s books, attaching her photographs and writings into found books, often from Italy. A copy of Francesca Woodman’s Some Disordered Interior Geometries, published by Synapse Press in 1981, is included in the exhibition along with several related photographs from the book.
