Art is also in Books! This is, in a way, the founding sentence of the artist’s book biennial which began eight years ago. Its fourth edition will open this Saturday, November 9 in the morning at the village hall, with the promise of finding real gems among the more than thirty guests. Because these are true works of art which will be revealed to the public.
Especially since over the years, this very young biennial has become part of the major events for artists’ books in France. Its organizers, Art in Folio, notably led by Caroline Gil and Patrice Lemoux, do not hide the ambition they have for this biennial. by relying on broad support from the city’s cultural establishments. This is how the museums and galleries of Rodez are part of this biennial by offering exhibitions or meetings in resonance, coming together under the banner of the same theme, paper.
For this reason, Art in folio made the paper mill of Brousses and Villaert the guest of honor. Mill which will provide the largest possible sheet on which the artist Michel Julliard will perform.
At the end of the weekend, the organizers will also give the wishes that the people of Ruthenia have slipped into one of the four wish trees to the Rignac artist Gérard Marty, so that he can create a book, an artist’s book of course, which will be given to the Rodez media library. A beautiful collective work to enjoy throughout the weekend.
