Forward Fold is the first large-scale exhibition of Barb Tetenbaum's artist books held in Reed College's Special Collections. Spanning 1989 to the present, the work presents a multitude of physical forms: maps, scrolls, accordion-folded books, traditional codices, and other innovative forms. These works offer a new understanding of the book through experimental combinations of text, image, structure and materials.

The exhibition will also contain over 130 artist books and objects created by Tetenbaum's students from both OCAC and Reed College, illuminating the strong connection between the questions the artist asks as part of her studio practice and the assignments she has created for her students over the past three decades.

Exhibition: August 18 - September 15, by appointment (Paul McAllister, pmcallis@reed.edu)
Opening reception: Friday, September 5, 5-7pm
Gallery talk: Sunday, September 7, 3-4:30pm
