CENTRAL BOOKING Magazine, like its parent gallery, provides a 360 degree view of artist’s books and their integration into the larger art world.

In the current June issue, Béatrice Coron, known for her cut out cityscapes, offers an insight into her influences and the philosophies reflected in her work. Miriam Schaer enlightens us with a tutorial on Xerox Transfer techniques to embellish handmade books and doctor/collector Robert J. Ruben discusses his passion for artists’ books. Also appearing, the latest installment of the graphic/text collaborations of Omar Olivera and Jessica Elsaesser.

June’s catalog insert takes a closer look at the current Gallery II exhibition Anatomical/ Microbial/ Microcosms, and includes images and articles by art critic and curator Jill Conner; Professor of Neural Science and Psychology; Joseph LeDoux and artist Claire Watkins on the intersections between biology, neuroscience, and art in its many forms. Their discussions on memory, experience and history all highlight the rich possibilities of the cross pollination of these disciplines.

CENTRAL BOOKING Magazine is published quarterly, coinciding with Gallery II exhibitions. It can be purchased at single issue or subscription prices.

First Issue, March 2010

Our premiere issue features an interview with the collaborative duo Kahn/Selesnick. The Artist Project offers a preview of their latest work, Eisbergfreistadt, chronicling the development of their “iceberg free state.”

Regular features also include technique-based artist book tutorials, launched with the step-by-step guide to cyanotype printing by Amy Holmes George; an ongoing feature of text excerpts highlighting written elements from the gallery’s collection of artist’s books that begins with Pamela Moore’s minimal translucent Incision; and Mindell Dubansky’s discussion of book shaped pieces from her collection, the first of a series of articles by noted collectors and curators. Other features include annotated listings of ongoing book arts events, spaces and organizations; and projects exclusive to the magazine by well-established and emerging artists alike.

Found within each issue is also a catalog insert documenting Gallery II’s thematic multi-disciplinary exhibitions. As well as photographs of the artwork and gallery installation, the catalog affords further investigations of these themes with articles addressing the interplay of art and science. March’s issue focuses on Astronomy: The Celestial, as the husband and wife team astronomer Greg Matloff and artist C. Bangs, both boasting long-time involvements with NASA and collaborative work, approaches the subject from their differing angles.
