The Columbus Book \\\ Red76


Screenprinting students from a class at CCAD taught by Elizabeth Gerdeman created an art book for A/AA. After visiting the schoolhouse and speaking with Sam and Gabriel, students felt compelled to engage with the project by contributing a collaborative artwork to the site. Each student made at least one page (front and back) using primarily surplus materials, most of which were gleaned from CCAD campus. In the book, students responded to issues regarding exchange of knowledge, activism, repurposing and reuse of materials, commodification of objects, advertising--all in their unique artistic styles and interests as art students.
