Artists’ Books, Multiples, Private Press Books & Livres D’Artiste evade easy classification and make life interesting for librarians. Small, Smaller, Smallest therefore presents an exhibition of books & multiples from the collections of Bristol Libraries and the University of the West of England, in order of size. Gently satirizing libraries’ emphasis on sorting & cataloguing, Small, Smaller, Smallest also presents the portable art form that a book can be. How small does an art experience get? How intimate is the tiniest of books? Timed to coincide with the Bristol Artists’ Book Event at Arnolfini (4th-5th April), Small, Smaller Smallest will see books scandalously cheek by jowl with one another which really don’t belong together in a library. Come in and turn the tiny pages!
