04.15.08 Biennial Catalogue Installment One

The 2008 Biennial Catalog features an overview of the artists’ work while offering a contemporary spin on artist books. They are designed and assembled by Encyclopedia Destructica, a Pittsburgh-based artist collective known for publishing limited edition books and zines. The Biennial catalogs will be hand bound by artists and guests at a binding party during the exhibit. And in keeping with its non-traditional nature, the catalog will be released in two installments – one on opening night and one on closing night. <learn more>
