After the great success at the ADI Design Museum, the exhibition offers an exhaustive vision of the creativity associated with the book, interpreted not only as a custodian of memory, but as an expressive medium with its own formal status. The Braidense National Library is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the most emotional part of the exhibition. The tour begins with the hand-made artist’s books in a single copy, made in all possible forms, materials and techniques, artifacts in the form of books, objects or real sculptures. In the middle, hybrid books that use traditional printing techniques such as chalcography or photography up to digital, without neglecting the manual aspect and the artistic intervention of the author. It ends with the books made by the designer, which come from all over the world, are of high circulation, and are made with very accurate printing techniques. The volumes printed by Fontegrafica stand out among these. On display works by international artists such as Mariella Bettineschi, Fausta Squatriti or masters of the artist’s book such as Marcello Diotallevi and Vito Capone.
Another reason of interest of this edition of Book Object is represented by augmented reality, which accompanies 106 works distributed between the two exhibitions and offers the possibility of accessing the contents that are hidden behind the artifact. Just download the “ARIA the AR Platform” app available for free on Google Play and Apple Store. Almost half of the books exhibited and reproduced in the catalog can be explored by combining the real world and the digital world, allowing us to go beyond the visual impact of the work.
Dedicated to the Bookmark and promoted on the occasion of the centenary F.I.L.A. – Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini S.p.A the Braidense National Library also hosts 100x bookmarks, which offers some historical specimens from the F.I.L.A collection and sees artists, designers and students of the two disciplines try their hand at creating a bookmark dedicated to Time. Among the paratextual elements of the book, the bookmark has the undoubted practical function of making us find the point where we stopped reading. In the exhibition we discover examples of different shapes and materials, such as a rectangular frame, to be applied to the corners of the pages, a thin strip of paper or an elaborate object in metal or wood.
The event also includes a series of meetings with leading figures from the world of design and art. Mario Cresci, Ugo La Pietra, Armando Milani for design. Mariella Bettineschi, Fausta Squatriti for art. But also a meeting on art therapy with Michelon dei Folli and a theoretical workshop on canvas books with Loretta Cappanera and on inlay techniques with Noemi Verdoliva.
