CONTEMPORARY POLISH ARTISTS' BOOKS EXHIBITION AND SYMPOSIUM AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY A symposium on the artists' book as an art form, sponsored by the Center for Russian and East European Studies and the Stanford University Libraries, will be held on November 8 at 10:00 a.m. in Annenberg Auditorium, Cummings Art Building (adjacent to Hoover Tower) at Stanford. Although Polish artists will be the focus, the symposium will cover a broad spectrum of issues related to artists' books, new and dynamically developing artistic forms and expressions. Three world renown speakers will address this phenomenon. Judith A. Hoffberg, art critic, publisher and editor (Umbrella Editions, Los Angeles) will focus on the art form in general. Piotr Rypson, Head Curator of the Centre for Contemporary Art (Warsaw, Poland) will discuss the developments in Poland, while Charles Hobson, artist, publisher and teacher from the San Francisco Art Institute, will describe the movement in the Bay Area. The event is free and open to the public. An exhibition of Contemporary Polish Artists' Books, the first of its kind in the United States, is on display from August 16 through November 16 in the lobby of the Cecil H. Green Library, Stanford University. A related 70-page catalogue, published in Warsaw with text in English, is available for sale. The publication, Contemporary Polish Book Art, encompasses the entire Warsaw exhibition (contact Billie Bousman, Department of Special Collections, Green Library, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-6004.
