Wake Forest students, faculty and staff have put together an exhibit that will open Wednesday at the Grolier Club in New York City. " Cuban Artists' Books and Prints: 1985 to 2009" features more than 100 pieces, including handmade limited-edition books and objects created by contemporary Cuban painters, sculptors, photographers and printmakers.
The exhibit will be on display through Aug. 1 at the Grolier Club, and Wake Forest students will present bilingual tours of the exhibit.
"This exhibit is primarily about the ingenious resilience of the Cuban artists represented and how they express their experiences of life in Cuba," said Linda Howe, an associate professor of Romance languages at Wake Forest. "But, it is also a testament to the service and entrepreneurial work of more than 200 Wake Forest students, faculty and staff over the years. Without them, this exhibit never would have happened."
Howe will be a panelist at a symposium on "Cuban Artists' Books" at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Museum of Modern Art. She will also speak on the exhibit at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Grolier Club. For information, see www.grolierclub.org.
In August, the exhibit will come to Wake Forest, and then begin traveling to galleries nationwide.
