</a><b>At the Turn of the Centuries: The Influence of Early 20th Century
Book Arts on Contemporary Artists' Books<br><br>
</b>Speakers will include Marcia Reed, Curator of Rare Books, Getty
Research Institute; Stephen Bury, Head of European and American
Collections, British Library; and Angela Lorenz, acclaimed American book
artist and book arts scholar. The conference will consider the work of
various innovative and avant-garde artists and writers working around
just after the turn of the twentieth century, including the Dadaists and
Surrealists, and its influence on post-war artists and writers, including
those associated with OULIPO and Fluxus, and contemporary inheritors of
these traditions in art, literature, and bookwork. <br><br>
Additionally, the conference will highlight strengths of the Yale Arts of
the Book Collection and the modern European and American collections at
the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. At the Turn of the
Centuries will honor the late Tony Zwicker's life-long commitment to the
inventive and original in modern and contemporary book arts. <br><br>
Registration is free, but required for planning purposes. Space for
breakout working groups is very limited, thus registration is mandatory
for these sessions. Please visit our registration page in February 2007
