EXHIBITION: Reclamation: Artists’ Books on the Environment, San Francisco Center for the Book, San Francisco, CA

San Francisco Center for the Book and San Francisco Public Library host Reclamation: Artists' Books on the Environment, a juried exhibition of artists' books exploring our relationship to the environment at this moment on the planet.

Environmental concerns demand increasing attention, from rising temperatures and dangerous weather events, to crises in water quality, to multiplying fires...the list goes on, echoed around the globe. Book artists create works that involve, educate, and inspire action. Book art takes many forms. Reclamation: Artists' Books on the Environment seeks to inspire and educate viewers to reflect on climate change and its impacts locally, nationally, and internationally. At the same time, the exhibition endeavors to avoid dualistic arguments common to today’s divisive political scene.

This exhibition takes place under the umbrella of The Codex Foundation's EXTRACTION: Art on the Edge of the Abyss call to action.

For one decade Jane Baldwin has visited Ethiopia, Africa, documenting the lives of Kara women living on the Omo River through photography, voice recordings and video. Baldwin is especially focused on bringing their voices to the world after witnessing the imperiled ecosystem and endangered livelihood of these women due to the construction of dams and other development policies.

"Working behind a medium format Hasselblad, the relationship between the artist and subject is unbroken, forming a cross-cultural bridge of human understanding. The direct gaze of each woman exhibits a transparency of spirit, both vulnerable and of tremendous strength."

Introduction by Anne Veh

Publisher’s Letter
Resonance means something rings true in one another,
influences one another.
The waves spread far.
It means empathizing with something and following it,
and when the vibration amplifies and deepens
different things meet to become stronger.

We are looking for a witness to life,
someone who will listen to our stories,
wipe away tears,
hold our hand.
We are looking to become one again.

As temporary visitors,

where do we come from
and
where are we going?

With the language of light,
which is like a spell,
returning to that road,

we face and embrace the land
with the deep eyes of the sky.

To all those who are searching for a path,

it is the light arriving,
the warm air rising,
the fair and upright, unbiased
conversation resounding between us all.

In the playground of light
a quiet sound of the world can be heard.
You are here in the place I emptied myself.
As a single circle,
as a river flowing with life
we ask the way back.

Sangyon Joo, Director of the Datz Museum of Art
