"Not Just Printing, Cutting, and Binding: The Art of the Book" Exhibition Guided Tour and Letterpress Printing Experience

Highlights

Is a book merely a collection of printed pages bound together? In the realm of contemporary art, why have books become a vital medium for creative experimentation and conceptual transformation?

• Artistic Perspectives: Delve into the works of six diverse artist groups, each offering a unique lens through which to examine the multi-faceted nature of the book.
