At the Turn of the Centuries: The Influence of Early 20th Century Book Arts 
on Contemporary Artists' Books

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.

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.

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 to sign up.
