New lecture series at the Art Library
The new "Book Salon" series of events at the Art Library is all about books. Maren Wienigk, curator of the Architecture and Ornamental Engraving Collection, and Michael Lailach, curator of the Book Art Collection, talk to guests about new and old books.
The Book Salon focuses on ideas and concepts, designing and printing, publishing and collecting books. What does the future of the book look like, in the library and in the world of readers? What spaces does the book occupy and in what forms? How and why does the cosmos of the book assert itself in the digital and AI-influenced world?
The focus is on the special connection between books and art: What spaces does the book open up for artists? What can be developed and unfolded? What special features characterize the handling of books? What significance does the book have today - as art, for research into art and for the dissemination of images? How important is the design of the book? How do the liberal and applied arts shape the medium of the book? What impact do books have both in architectural design and in architectural historiography? How do publishers plan their art programs? What processes underpin the collaborative production of books?
