The artists’ books and book objects in this exhibition draw on the traditional form and concept of the book through diverse approaches and materials. These works have been produced by DART 280* students whose explorations of the book structure sometimes mimic the book format and other times experiment with the conceptual possibilities of the book as metaphor. Book works incorporate various techniques including printmaking, graphic design and typography, bookbinding, photography, textiles or sculpture. Inviting multiple readings, the visual constructions in this exhibition underline the boundless possibilities of the book as an art form.

In the world of marketing, advertisers can create their image and messages with virtual freedom. But that’s not the case when it comes to “green” products – because the scrutiny is too intense. This week, Terry O’Reilly looks at the ever-changing world of Green Marketing. He’ll look back at how the green movement started, how it’s evolved, how marketers navigate the shoals of green marketing today – and what it all means to everyday consumers. One thing for sure… it’s not easy being green.

The world of letters is being rocked by new technology.  The rapid rise of the e-reader could be the biggest change in books since Gutenberg invented movable type.  Readers, writers, booksellers, and publishers are all grappling with its implications and asking a fundamental question: is a book really a book when it exists only as a digital file? CBC producer Sean Prpick goes between the covers of the question.
