Works on Paper supports activities that use concepts, characteristics, and histories of the book, and entanglements with text, as a frame for exploratory practice across the arts. The spring 2023 series, Experiments in Language and Sound, was curated by Robert Blatt and David Abel. For more information, please visit the Works on Paper site.
The Works on Paper series is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
