Liverpool Central Library: Art, Science and Creativity: Book Art Exhibition 

Liverpool Book Art is delighted to present the book art exhibition ‘Art, Science and Creativity’ at Liverpool’s spectacular Central Library.

The exhibition is inspired by various statements by Albert Einstein, highlighting the fact that creativity is central to explorations in both art and science. And as we wonder, and attempt to understand the universe and ourselves, categories can, and perhaps should, become blurred. Distinctions can be both valuable and problematic: ‘art’ versus ‘science’, ‘nature’ versus ‘human’, ‘natural’ versus ‘supernatural’, ‘material’ versus ‘spiritual’, ‘secular’ versus ‘religious’ and so on.

Thirty artists have been selected to participate. The majority are UK-based, with family and cultural roots embracing Poland, Spain, Romania, Russia, Finland and the USA. There will be nearly 40 works in the show, including newly-created works responding to the exhibition theme, and existing relevant works. The artists use an enormous range of approaches and techniques, including various types of printmaking, handmade paper, clay, latex, laser cuts and collage, as well as various bookbinding and stitching techniques.
