Covered Discovered

 

Covered Discovered” exhibition Private View at the Craft Council Gallery

"Covered Discovered” a joint exhibition featuring the work of Designer Bookbinders and the Society of Scribes & Illuminators. The exhibition is held at the Craft Council Gallery in Angel from the 13th of March to the 13th of April 2024. ”Covered Discovered” is the second joint exhibition DB and the SSI, the first exhibition “Fine Words Fine Books” was held during the summer of 1991 in St. Paul’s Cathedral which was 33years ago. I was a student at Guildford Collage studying Fine Bookbinding at that time and perhaps it was the first time for me to visit a Designer Bookbinders exhibition in the UK. I admired all exhibitors works, I did not even think, that one day, I would become one of the exhibitors. Obviously, a number of the exhibitors from the 1991 exhibition are no longer with us, much has changed. But a good number of the 'Originals' from that first exhibition are still working and have produced some beautiful works for this second exhibition.

Covered Discovered”は、デザイナー・ブックバインダーズとスクライブ&イルミネータ協会(写本筆写者と彩色者の協会、私は一種のカリグラフィー協会と理解しています)の主要作品による合同展覧会です。展覧会は、エンジェルにあるクラフト・カウンシルの画廊にて今月の3月13日から4月13日まで開催されています。“Covered Discovered”は、DBSSIの2度目の合同展覧会で、最初の展覧会”Fine Words Fine Books” 展は1991年の夏にセント・ポール大聖堂にて開催されました。33年前のことです。私は当時ギルフォード・カレッジで美術工芸製本を学んでいました。おそらく、それは私にとって初めて訪れた英国デザイナー・ブックバインダーズの展覧会だったと思います。私は全ての出品作品に見惚、私が出品者の一人になる日が来るとは思いもよりませんでした。言うまでもなく1991年の展覧会の多くの出展者は我々と共にはおらず変わりましたが、最初の展覧会からの数人の「元からの人々」がこの2度目の展覧会でも美しい作品を制作し出品しています。
