Your Name Is Safe, You Can Rest Now, Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder, Special Collections, Fleet Library Jan 2018

Your Name Is Safe, You Can Rest Now, Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder, Special Collections, Fleet Library

Artists' Books

5 folding panels . "Your Name is Safe, You Can Rest Now is a letter to my great-uncle Rikio who died in WWII explaining the impact that his death had on our family for generations. Every household in my family had this photograph of his funeral on their butsudan, a Buddhist altar. Rikio fought in the US Army Infantry 442nd Regiment which consisted almost entirely of second-generation Japanese Americans, and holds the record of being the most highly decorated unit in US Military History. While Rikio and others in Hawaii fought for the US, our family members on the mainland …

Endless Bridge, Mikhail Mishin, Special Collections, Fleet Library Jan 2018

Endless Bridge, Mikhail Mishin, Special Collections, Fleet Library

Artists' Books

1 volume, 80 pages. "A visual retelling of creation, Mikhail Mishin's Endless Bridge utilizes juxtapositions and stark comparisons in a narrative that spans from birth to death and back again. iPhone photos, newspaper clippings and other found materials are the vocabulary used in this book in which light is separated from dark, and order emerges from chaos, only to revert back into nothingness. Images in this book have the quality of archaeological artifacts, where the transient qualities of an inflated tarp, a light reflection on the pavement or footprint in the concrete are highlighted. We know what comes after, we …

Voyagers, Catanese, Melissa, Special Collections, Fleet Library Jan 2018

Voyagers, Catanese, Melissa, Special Collections, Fleet Library

Artists' Books

1 volume. 'Voyagers' consists almost entirely of anonymous black-and-white snapshots of people in various postures of reading in living rooms, on beds, at the beach, eating breakfast. We can't see what these readers are thinking, but Catanese occasionally breaks the hypnotic typological rhythm to reveal a new photographic element - a pyramid, a starry night, sunlight blindingly glowing through a window - giving us brief glimpses of the readers' potential narrative journeys. A wordless book with the size and feel of a vintage paperback found at a flea market, 'Voyagers' reminds us of the power and intimacy of our relationship …
