SAGE would never have been imagined without the people and resources at the Lenhardt Library of the Chicago Botanic Garden. Leora, Ed, and Stace represent all that is inpiring about how libraries and librarians can be open to new ways to connect people to books. Even as we speak, they are getting ready to present "Rare Seeds, Creative Harvest: Artist Books Inspired by the Rare Book Collection", an exhibition that will feature not just the SAGE books but the process by which they came about. The exhibition opens May 18th. so any Chicago folks --check it out for me and report back! I'll be out in July with Claire Owen to teach some workshops.
Go out and say thanks to your favorite librarian!
Oh, and SAGE will be in our hands on Monday. Thanks for your patience and watch this space to get yours in the mail.
Congrats, Beth! Great interview about SAGE and your process of creating it in conjunction with the Lenhardt Library and Claire Owen. The book looks beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished result!
