The EIBAB Biennale subject 2012:

TRANS (FORMS)

"Once upon a time there was a world where writing was unknown. A world different to ours, but nevertheless still human. Everything changed once writing was invented. But, maybe the writing was only revealed to humans and not invented by them. It is sure that, for thousands of years, writing was the secret recipe of spiritual texts, guarded by royalty or the keepers of sacred knowledge. Beyond its content, writing has an exterior, a visual feature. Transposing or “packaging” the idea into text implies an infinite variety of shapes and materials. In this way the writing and the book become an art object. A book is more than the content it holds; its physical structure, and visual impact are also part of it. In some oriental traditions, calligraphy was considered a spiritual pathway.
But what is happening writing today? With the book? Is there still any connection with the primary sense? Does writing have any connection with the human essence nowadays?”

The exhibition of the 2nd European International Book Art Biennale will take place
in August 2012 at ART MUSEUM SATU- MARE, Romania
2013 New York, USA
2013 Krakaw, Poland

2nd EDITION European International Book Art Biennale EIBAB

European International Book Art Biennale
2nd edition Romania
August- September 2012

„We live in the 21st century, the century of technology, of computers and mass media, all of which are separating us and our children from the written word.
In a few years, if this direction of our civilized world continues, books will disappear.”

Dorothea Fleiss

The European International Book Art Biennale has been promoting and encouraging any unconventional attitudes about books.
It deals with book-objects, book-installations, one-offs, author's books, artist's books, writer's books, experimental and limited editions, fine press books, etc.
The core of the project is an exhibition composed of works selected in a competition and made by the artists invited by the organisers.
After the premiere (which usually took place in Satu- Mare Art Museum) the exhibition is shown in many prestigious venues (art galleries and libraries) throughout Romania and abroad.
Carefully and unconventionally designed catalogues containing colour pictures of exhibited items, artists' short biographies and opinions about their work, various essays and reviews, a lot of pieces of useful information valuable both for ordinary book lovers and those ones professionally dealing with books, are very important for promoting the idea of book art.
