CURRENT EXHIBITION


ON VIEW
 
​NARRATIVES OF THE POSSIBLE: ARTISTS' BOOKS
Curated by Mark E. Ritchie
August 22 to October 27, 2021 | Raymond Plank Center, by appointment only

Explore the first book art show at Ucross. Curator Mark E. Ritchie invites visitors to ask, "What makes a book?" Is it the physical object or the narrative it contains? This traveling exhibition features classic books, scrolls and accordion structures, books with multiple sequence experiences, books that open in unexpected ways, and books that are comprised of text, images and objects that engage with the sculptural aspects of being a book — but may not look like a traditional book. 

Narratives of the Possible: Artists' Books was coordinated by Laramie County Library System, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mark E. Ritchie, Professor of Printmaking at the University of Wyoming and a Ucross alumnus, curated the exhibition. Learn more here.

Ucross exhibitions are supported in part by the Wyoming Arts Council, through funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming State Legislature.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ucross Foundation acknowledges with respect that it is situated on the aboriginal land of several Indigenous communities, including the Cheyenne, Crow, and Lakota nations. Indigenous people continue to live in this area and practice their teachings and lifeways. Today, this region remains an important place for many Indigenous peoples. As a Wyoming institution, we recognize and respect this historical context and are working to build reciprocal relationships with the Native nations on whose lands we are situated. In partial fulfillment of that commitment, Ucross established a Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists in 2017, which will expand to include Native American writers in 2021.
