Collecting and Creativity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Unbound Art Book Fair kick-off event will be a panel discussion that brings together the perspectives of artists, educators, curators, collaborators, arts organizers to discuss how collecting and working in collectives supports artist practices and is a art practice in and of itself. As the list of perspectives indicates, the three panelists each wear many hats and engage with collecting and collectives in their own way. The panel will feature two Graphic Design faculty, Elizabeth Goodspeed and Doug Scott, along with Gee Wesley, a PhD student at Brown University in the department of Modern Culture and Media as well as the co-founder of the Philadelphia-based nonprofit art bookshop, Ulises, and the founder of Afrophon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderated by Anther Kiley and Deborah Khodanovich.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
