MLK Day
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we take a moment to reflect on the individuals who have fought for and continue to advocate for civil rights and present two letterpress broadsides printed by Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design students in 2010.
The collection is entitled Everyday Prophets and explores quotes by notable Black activists and artists; Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, James Baldwin, and Bob Marley. The first broadside printed by Patrick Sharrow examines the ideological tensions between contemporaries Malcolm X and MLK who both sought racial justice but proposed very different routes to get there. Andrea Bartley’s broadside takes a more philosophical perspective featuring quotes from all four visionaries. Bartley’s text is printed over (a hard to digitally capture) embossing of ‘LOVE’.

In the Land of Tiny Books
Our Head of Special Collections Max Yela has collaborated for decades with Milwaukee artist and art professor at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) Leslie Fedorchuk (on the left in the first image; Max is on the right). This semester, Leslie is teaching a MIAD course called "Magical Miniatures" and she brought her class over for a discussion and review of artists books that use small scale as expression.
While Max is not very fond of miniatures or the miniaturization of books, he does like books that are small for compositional reasons. In fact, one of his favorite artists books, In Here Out There (third image) by the late Minnesota artist Jody Williams, is quite small (5 x 7 cm). Since we hold about 95% of Jody Williams's work and about 90% of the small editioned work of Peter & Donna Thomas, after a discussion, the class spent time reviewing selected works by these artists, plus about a dozen others by local book artists.
This was the first time these art students, many of them Juniors and Seniors, had ever encountered artists books before, and all expressed that it was a transformative experience. We look forward to seeing some of the book work that comes out of the assignments for this class!
