Then & Now: Ten Years of Residencies at the Center for Book Arts is the official exhibition catalogue chronicling the work of 60 artists who participated in Center for Book Arts’ Residency programs from 2005 to 2015. Curated by Alexander Campos, this thoughtfully designed volume features vibrant color plates and insightful commentary, tracing each artist's creative journey—from their residency-era projects ("Then") to their subsequent, more fully realized works ("Now") .
Perfect for art lovers, scholars of book arts, and anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary printmaking and binding, the catalogue offers a concise yet rich portrait of a decade of experimental and boundary-pushing artists’ books. It’s both a celebration of collective achievement and a compelling visual resource—capturing the creative spirit at the heart of CBA.
