The Prague Project: Artist's Books and Recent Monotypes
The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum presents: THE PRAGUE PROJECT: Artist’s Books and Recent Monotypes
The distinctive contemporary art of Leslie Nobler Farber
Saturday, May 1 – Sunday, May 30, 2010
Leslie Nobler Farber combines an interest in and mastery of book design, printmaking, and fiber art in highly individual creations. Inspired by early sacred book dressings and embellishments, she creates compellingly tactile covers and slipcases for her startling book “deconstructions.” The work on display makes use of such diverse materials as paper, vinyl, embroidery, and metallic threads, along with photographs, sketches, and computer drawings of religious crafts from pre-war Europe and the Middle East. Her unique use of electronic media expresses a spiritual vision informed by a profound historical perspective.
Holding a bachelor’s degree in fine art from the University of Michigan and an MFA from Hunter College of the City University of New York, Farber is an Associate Professor in the Art Department of William Patterson University in New Jersey. Her distinguished professional career includes exhibitions at the Visual Arts Museum’s Digital Salon and the Parson’s School of Design in New York City and in museums and galleries in New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Montana, and California, as well as internationally in London, Barcelona, Bangkok, Nanjing, South Africa, and Australia.
Reviews of Professor Farber’s innovative art have appeared in numerous periodicals, including the New York Times, Art Times, Fiber Arts International, Leonardo, Nanjing [China] Art News, and Australian Design, and she has received awards and grants from many arts councils, cultural centers, and universities.
