Join us in the Archives & Special Collections Gallery to hear directly from curators about a new exhibit! The “May Induce an Epiphany”: Artists’ Books on the Future exhibit features a selection of artists' books from the Frick Fine Arts Library.

All the books on display deal with imagining the future. Their creative, ambitious approaches to the idea of the future mirror their manifold approaches to the format of the book. From Julie Chen’s Space-Time Geometry, where the accordion fold structure of the book reflects its thesis that time is constantly collapsing in on itself, to Anne de Vries’ Deep Scroll, a traditionally bound book simulating a partly-AI-generated doomscroll session out of a fever dream, whose very description and design inspired the title of this exhibit. 

In the first half of this event, curators Chrislynn Brownlee and Eli Savage will discuss their exhibit. The last half of the event will be dedicated to question & answer and a collective viewing of the exhibit.
