“Emergence” is the topic of this year’s Philadelphia Center for the Book () Members’ Exhibition held at Moore College of Art and Design.
What does emergence mean to you? How would something that was previously hidden be displayed? In the scientific world, properties or behaviors in an entity can emerge when that entity interacts with a larger external whole.- like each unique snowflake emerging into the air. This exhibition will represent books that express something new coming into view, something hidden being exposed, something new coming into being. These books can be symbolic of anything that physically emerges such as a flower from the soil or symbolizing some concept that can emerge such as a memory from the past. This year, members and emerging book artists who are new to the book arts were invited to submit up to three works that evoke emergence.
Selected works will be on view from January 18th through February 21st in The Galleries and in .writersstudio.moore
