Dos-á-Dos :Two
Views

Marcano & Hanne Niederhausen
February 12,
2009 - April 29, 2009
"If I could write on water," Marcano says, "I would do it.
Actually, I have done it... just for an instant."
 Marcano
investigates the written word as visual phenomenon, using
invented alphabets and calligraphic shapes. But writing, to
her, is also "visual sound." For Marcano's part, this show
features video works, installations, and artists' books
where presence or absence of illegible text embraces silence
and noise.
"I am always striving to expand the parameters of what
defines a book," says Niederhausen. She uses her background
in traditional printmaking as a springboard for these
further explorations into the book form, working extensively
in the medium of altered books as sculptural objects, while
also extending into the realm of handmade books.%20small%20300.jpg)
The term "Dos-á-Dos" refers to two books that are bound
together to form one whole. And in much the same way, we've
brought these two distinct views together for an exhibition
that is striking, amusing, and engaging.
This library-wide exhibition runs through Tuesday, April 28,
2009. This includes the main lobby of the Wimberly Library,
the Wimberly Administrative Offices (2nd floor west), and
the lobby of the Jaffe Center for Book Arts (3rd floor
east), as well as inside the Jaffe Book Arts Gallery. The
exhibition may be viewed anytime during regular library
hours, which may be found at
FAU
Wimberly Library Hours or by calling (561) 297-3770.
We recommend visitors park at the meters in the parking lot
outside the Wimberly Library or in those in the Parking
Garage just west of the library (turn right upon entering
the building.)
