Finally, a Use for Books!

book_art_main.jpg

Slog tipper The General pointed me to this blog post, about visual artists transforming books into art objects. Some of the resulting objects are really quite striking.

Unfortunately, as The General points out, the blog’s writing about the books is America’s-Funniest-Home-Videos-interstitial-patter bad. (About the artist who makes guns out of books, they write “The pen may be mightier than the sword, but book artist Robert The takes things one step further with his stark book-art guns. ” Hork!) So look at the pictures and don’t read the words. You know, like the rest of the internet.

The General sounds intimidatingly smart, and quite attractive.

Wow - an original hardcover of The Medium Is The Massage. Impressive. Don't see those around too often.

Art with books. This is the aesthetic cousin to those guys you see at crafts shows who take those Little Golden Books and tear them apart, take the covers and put blank paper inside, and wire-O bind them to make notebooks.

The plane of books suspended by strings to create a ceiling of ideas is an installation at Istanbul Modern. Its my favorite.
