    !1 of !77 Ruined Books Blog A Book of Bibliolages—initial post, Feb. 27, 2013 A Book of Bibliolage makes a good place to begin this blog. The website goes back a few weeks now. The practice of bibliolaging goes back seven to ten years, depending on your definition. The word bibliolage goes back about three years, my invention, I think. And the blog starts now. A bibliolage is always an “altered book”—that’s the family—but, strange child in the corner, it abides by its own rules, sucks its very own thumb. (When I came up with the motto “Puerility Taken to a Whole New Level!” it made me smile, but it’s not terribly self-respectful.) A bibliolage is also always a collage, but it so severely does not hang on a wall, I had to build a website to hang it anywhere. A bibliolage sits on a shelf, here a creaky one, because the art takes a heavy book and makes it heavier. It takes a page and squares it, so the binding typically bulges. A library shelf keeps books aloft, vertical, slim, and Ssshhh-ed! My shelves sag, and the engorged volumes seem angry with being books. They protest at gravity, clamoring mirth. They revel in ruin and rue preservation. They do not resign to a system, least of all Dewey decimal. They do not speak for authority but squeal for special attention from the court. On the site you can find a list of titles, some eighty-six in the columns as of now, but the ranks are uneven, as some have struck off in wayward directions, but so far no new tendency has turned me from the !2 of !77 extraillustrative ‘lage.

    MARY HEEBNER & simplemente maria press fine art books 1995-2018 mary heebner cassandra a poem by stephen kessler mmxix Cassandra is a major work, one that unites a complex understanding of the way perspective and diverse materials fracture time and space, while the hand and memory of the artist unite them. Heebner’s visual dialogue with Kessler’s poem powerfully brings to life the legendary voice of Cassandra. To paraphrase the poet, a lovely myth rises in art to beggar disbelief.

  • 2018-2020 Impact Report
    IMPACT REPORT I Message from the University Librarian Since we celebrated the 75th anniversary of UC Santa Barbara last year I have been reflecting on how the UCSB Library has always been a community hub, supporting our faculty and students to be successful in everything they do and engaging the Santa Barbara community in the intellectual and cultural life of UC Santa Barbara. The last few decades have shown how the internet and the web have transformed libraries. Having been a librarian throughout this transition, I can assure you that libraries are—and I believe will remain—adaptive and durable institutions in the digital age. Libraries have embraced new technologies, leveraging them to make many of our unique collections available to the world and to bring the world of scholarship to the desktops of our researchers and students. But the digital library revolution is also complex and brings with it unintended consequences. Since journals began to move online in the 1990s, scholarly journal publishing has grown to become a $10 billion industry, largely funded by research Kristin Antelman libraries, and one in which most content sits behind increasingly expensive paywalls. Over the last year, the University of California has found itself on the world stage showing unprecedented leadership in standing up to publishing giant, Elsevier, by terminating our contract with them until we can negotiate both a more sustainable price and open access publishing for all UC-authored articles. As a public institution whose research is funded largely by public money, it is core to the UC mission to make that research openly available to be used by the residents of California, and beyond.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sullivan Goss March 13, 2020 A N A M E R I C A N G A L L E R Y 11 EAST ANAPAMU STREET SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 (805) 730-1460 U.C.S.B. M.F.A. 20/20 MAY 1 - JUNE 1, 2020 THIS EXHIBITION WILL BE OPEN BY ONE HOUR APPOINTMENTS DAILY FROM MAY 1 - JUNE 1. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE WHOLE THING ONLINE. SANTA BARBARA - We are sometimes asked, “What’s going on in the art ​ world these days?” The sheer multiplicity of answers makes responding succinctly almost impossible. Twenty years from now – or even better, forty – we’ll probably be able to organize some of what’s going on into trends or schools. Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. At the present moment however, we ​ ​ can take our cues from that rare breed - the M.F.A.s; and we can count ​ ​ ourselves as fortunate that U.C.S.B. has such a vital program for giving these ​ passionate makers a map of contemporary art’s most important discourses, honest feedback about their work, and campus exhibitions to sharpen their practice. These artists can give us important answers to the question, “what’s going on?” At the University of California, Santa Barbara, M.F.A.s are also offered campus studio space, which is indeed a privilege. Plus, these artists are expected to teach more often than not, which challenges them to articulate their ideas while also exposing them to the questions and insights of their even younger students.
