Join Bakehouse artist Gabriela Gamboa, as she speaks with John Cutrone, Director of the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University Libraries, and Ingrid Schindall, Director of IS Projects, about her most recent artist book, A Study of Dust. Exploring the isolation and disorientation that she experienced as a result of living in exile, Gamboa documented the spaces and objects she left behind. A Study of Dust is a compilation of these images taken in Venezuela, an easily transportable object that becomes a receptacle of memory and loss, as the artist navigates (un)belonging in a foreign country.
In a conversation moderated by Bakehouse Curatorial + Public Programs Manager, Laura Novoa, Gamboa, Cutrone and Schindall speak about the particularities of producing and the importance of collecting artist books and their potential as an accessible and democratic medium.
A Study of Dust was produced at IS Projects and acquired, in both its English and Spanish versions, by the Jaffe Center for Book Arts.
This program is presented in partnership with IS Projects and the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University.
