About the lecture
In conjunction with Amu Arts and the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, the Sonoma Community Center is delighted to bring book artists Ryoko Adachi and Veronika Schäpers to speak about their work.
In their talk, the book artists Ryoko Adachi (Tokyo, Japan) and Veronika Schäpers (Karlsruhe, Germany) will each give an insight into their process of making artist’s books. Both artists combine refined materials with deep and profound research. While Ryoko Adachi creates works with a modern sensibility using natural objects collected in Tokyo as motifs, Veronika Schäpers concentrates on sociological phenomena she observes with an outside view as a foreigner in Japan.
The event will be accompanied by a presentation of books featured in the talk.
Be sure to visit the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art exhibit Book Becoming Art, curated by Maki Aizawa, Simon J. Blattner, and Barbara Wells, to see more of the artists’ work.
This event is organized in conjunction with Sonoma Valley Museum of Art’s exhibition, Book Becoming Art 芸術になった本,
on view January 18 – April 27, 2025. For more information, visit https://svma.org/exhibition/book-becoming-art/.
