Tuscaloosa, Alabama:: Irasema Quezada-Hammock,, 2021.. Edition of 27. 4" x 4" closed, extends to 32"; 8 panels. Double sided accordion. Text set in Freight designed by Joshua Darden. Printed n Neenah paper on a Vandercook Universal press. Written, illustrated, printed and bound by the artist at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Numbered. Irasema Quezada: "This artists' book is a part of my desire to seek truth and give voice to the history of the city of Birmingham, Alabama which I feel has been glossed over and sentimentalized. I took photographs of my walk around Birmingham and made reduction linoleum of those photographs. Text was taken from the Birmingham Wiki and annotated with my findings. "As I walked the downtown in the city of Birmingham, I took notice [of] the beautiful architecture and details. I photographed textures and began researching the buildings and the founding of the city. This project began as a study of the downtown Birmingham neighborhood, Central City. As my research advanced, my dissatisfaction of the city's recorded birth began to build. Looking at the first internet hit for the history of the city, Wikipedia, one begins to read the romanticized idea of this industrial city. Every link visited had the same information with the same idyllic language. It wasn't until I came across an academic journal by W. David Lewis that the interests of the founders was plainly written in, what I felt was, a real account.

Atlanta, GA:: Nexus Press,, 1995.. 30 cards, 1 folded single sheet. Mohawk paper In card box with slip and slot closure. Sgined by the artist. Judy Anderson: "This book was created during an artist residency at Nexus Press where I worked with a press-man on a Heidelberg Press. 500 large sheets of Mohawk paper were overprinted with 15 offset litho plates images and trimmed to twenty-nine cards that fit into a paper box. The overprinted images depict the contradictory treatment of women in our contemporary world. Text from the daily news is collaged with text from advertising. The abstract and symbolic images of women respond to the objectification of woman as a beautiful object, to love, own, violate and control. " Colophon: "This book began in outrage, a response to the increasing reports of violence against women in the world. It's ending marks a beginning, of understanding and balance. Text fragments were taken from the daily news, juxtaposed with one woman's voice.

Harris: "One-wingèd' is an accordion structure with paper covers and paper enclosure. The poetic text, which appears on the verso sides, uses the metaphor of an injured 'one-wingèd' bird (single wings appear on the recto sides) to reveal facets of a family ultimately 'crushed' by psychological abuse." Alexandria Searls (Daily News Record, Harrisonburg, VA) :"'One-wingèd' by Lyall Harris…a story of love, disappointment, and emotional violence, the typeset words on one side of the accordion, and colorful wings, one at a time, on the other. The one-wing is a metaphor of damage in the romantic partner; the partner can't fly, the…

Texts excerpted from court documents, state codes, and public political pronouncements. Signed by the artist. Nava Atlas: "Why You Can't Get Married: An Unwedding Album examines the hot-button issue of same-sex marriage through the lens of the past. The very arguments used to oppose interracial marriage in generations past have been recycled for use against same-sex marriage. Comparing state codes, legal opinions, public hearings, and political pronouncements, it becomes apparent that the arguments aren't just similar, but nearly identical. The book ends with a ray of hope, presenting Mildred Loving's statement on the 40th anniversary of the 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving vs.…

Beth Sheehan: "'Reliquary' explores the idealization of memory, particularly exploring the way memory evolves over time. When someone passes, loved ones seek to keep their memory alive to honor that person. Gravestones act as a monument of memory that spans multiples lifetimes, but after a short time, those who remember the deceased will have also passed. Creating this artist's book is my connection and tribute to the lost memories. "This tunnel book stemmed from a workshop I took with Maria Pisano at the Center for Book Arts in New York, NY. … During my time as a resident at the Newark Print Shop in Newark, NJ, I finalized the design for the book, screen printed all of the layers, hand cut each page and assembled the books. Due to the nature of so much hand-work,…

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

This book is in good condition. There is a lot of wear on the front, back, spine and edges of the cover boards. There is also a substantial amount of staining on the cover boards. The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades. I visited Vietnam most recently in 1981 for seven weeks, the longest permitted an American correspondent since the Communists gained control of the entire…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
