[Cross-posted, please forgive duplication, but we really want you to know about this!] Artists' Book Conference, Los Angeles May 21-May 24, 2005 Early registration ends May 1st, so send in your registration forms today for the conference, workshops, and exhibitor's tables! Seats are limited. For more information about registration or the program, navigate to http://arlis-sc.org. The Artists' Books Conference is planned for all who create, collect, catalog, conserve, or simply appreciate those special works of art known as artists' books, including artists, librarians, archivists, collectors, dealers, and others. Join us for four intensive days of seminars, workshops, and panels--or register on a daily basis. Topics will include: the history of artists' books; a look at emerging Los Angeles artists; current trends in cataloging artists' books; access and preservation issues; and facilitating the collecting of artists' books. Each of the conference's four days will take place in a different cultural venue, including MoCA, Otis College of Art and Design, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, and the Getty Research Institute. Admission to MoCA is included with enrollment, as well as an opening reception at The Mountain Bar, a closing reception at The Getty Research Institute, and lunch at both Otis and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. The last day of the conference will coincide with the opening of the exhibit, The Artist Turns to the Book (May 24 - September 11, 2005) at the Getty Research Institute. A bonus for all will be the opportunity to exchange information with artists, librarians, archivists, collectors, and others.
