  Critical Reading: Book Art in Dialogue with the Collection
  

  June 7–8, 2024
  Co-hosts: Prof. Rachel Simmons (Rollins College), Prof. Ben Rinehart (Lawrence University)

  Under the theme Critical Reading, the 2024 CBAA biennial meeting will include a keynote presentation, a members meeting, a museum exhibition featuring CBAA members’ work, papermaking and community zine activities, as well as a field trip to Flying Horse Editions. This gathering, held in person at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida June 7–8, 2024, presents an opportunity for our community to reconnect in person for the first time since January of 2020. The exhibition, Critical Reading: Book Art in Dialogue with the Collection will be on view at the Rollins Museum of Art with an exclusive evening reception for attendees. The exhibition will explore the ways in which text—whether literally or metaphorically—functions as image and vice versa, and will feature text-centric works from the Rollins Book Arts Collection, the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art and juried submissions from CBAA members. Members can submit works for consideration until September 28th through Submittable. Board and member meetings will also be conducted as well as a papermaking activity with Ben Rinehart, and a collaborative typewriter zine project with members of the Book Arts Guild of Central Florida. Attendees will also have the chance to tour downtown Winter Park, view contemporary art at the Alfond Inn, and visit Flying Horse Editions in downtown Orlando for happy hour printing and an exhibition of artists’ books presented by David Benjamin and Chris Saclolo from The University of Central Florida’s Library Special Collections.
