Including works by Cara Barer, Doug Beube, Long-Bin Chen, Casey Curran, Brian Dettmer, Ann Hamilton, Andrew Hayes, Lisa Kokin, Guy Laramée and Robert The, Way With Words shows the transformation of everyday books into expressions of identity, community, environmentalism, memory, and reconstructed narratives. Families see unconventional treatments, such as cutting, weaving, tearing, burning, and shredding, as artists transform books into sculptures, animation, drawings, and paintings that capture the book’s significant history and power to inform the public.

Children and their families can also create their own artworks, inspired by the exhibition.
