The Binding Is Just a Way to Keep It All Together: Interact at Minneapolis Central Library

Interact's debut exhibition at Minneapolis Central Library's Cargill Gallery gathers hand-bound volumes and small folded zines, repetitive paintings and stashes of paper, lines of poetry and stapled packets of text, to play with elements of story- and bookmaking. 

In each artist's work, a sort of narrative unfolds, whether across pages or frames, whether explicit or abstract. In the Interact studio, ideas are stacked, piled, taped, bound – coming together over the course of days, years, or decades. As studio facilitator Presley Martin points out, "the binding is just a way to keep it all together."

Join us for a closing reception that celebrates the nineteen artists included in the exhibition on July 24th at 4:30pm. There will also be an informal book viewing where visitors can see the insides of select publications by Interact artists.
