Event typeExhibit Opening

Join us for the opening reception of Muted Volumes: Book-objects, patterned papers, and the closed stacks of Buhr, an exhibit of handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for books languishing in offsite storage. We invite you to handle the book-objects on display and to hear from the curator, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio, about her process and how the exhibit came to be.

Several books adorned with decorative paper.
