The Reimagined Book: Julie Chen & Flying Fish Press

Distinguished book artist Julie Chen has produced nearly 60 limited edition works that focus on the reading experience and the materiality of the book. Her quest to merge structure and meaning creates intimate yet bold works. Chen uses inventive book forms such as game boards, dioramas, and pop-ups to merge personal narrative with universal commentary on the human condition. Chen will discuss the work of her Flying Fish Press (Berkeley, CA) which began in 1987. Complex, robust, and surprising, her book art is nonpareil.
