The BA International Biennale for the Artist’s Book 2012
Posted on
The BA holds from 3 to 28 May 2012 the fifth round of the BA International Biennale for the Artist’s Book.
This special round celebrates the 10th anniversary of the BA, which was inaugurated in October 2002 and the establishment of the BA Arts Center. The event marks 10 years since the BA’s first event to honor the relationship between plastic and visual arts in relation to the concept of books, writing and documentation.
This year, the Biennale celebrates the BA Artist Book collection acquired through past biennales, as gift donations made by the participating artists from all over the world, and from the Egyptian and foreign artists participating in this current event as well.
This round commemorates Naguib Mahfouz’s centennial, and all artworks are inspired by Mahfouz’s works.
As part of the collaboration between “La Diane Francaise” Publishing House and the BA, La Diane Francaise offers copies of its latest publications to enrich the BA collection.
The Biennale’s Opening will take place on Thursday, 3 May, and is open for public from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, except Fridays.
