‘Unfolding Events,’ an exhibition of artists’ books

Yale Library is presenting 'Unfolding Events: Exploring Past and Present in Artists’ Books,' an exhibition at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library through March 1. Curated by Jessica Pigza and Bill Landis, the show draws from the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library and Beinecke collections, featuring works that explore marginalized communities and personal responses to contemporary life. Highlights include Clarissa Sligh's accordion-style book 'What’s Happening With Momma?' (1988) and Tia Blassingame's '’Pause' (2024), which addresses Black women's experiences with menopause.

‘Unfolding Events,’ an exhibition of artists’ books

An exhibition titled 'Unfolding Events: Exploring Past and Present in Artists’ Books' is on view at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, part of Yale Library, through March 1. Curated by Jessica Pigza and Bill Landis, the show draws from the collections of the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library and the Beinecke Library, featuring artists' books that explore marginalized communities and personal responses to contemporary life. Highlights include Clarissa Sligh's 'What’s Happening With Momma?' (1988), an accordion-style book evoking her mother's home birth, and Tia Blassingame's '’Pause' (2024), which addresses Black women's experiences with menopause. The exhibition is divided into two sections: one focusing on personal perspectives, the other pairing historical artists' books with primary source materials from the Beinecke's collections.
