"No Translation Required: Artists' Books in Germany and Georgia" by Levent Ozler, Dexigner, March 9, 2010: "SCAD showcases the book arts with a major exhibition, 'No Translation Required: Artists' Books in Germany and Georgia,' March 8 - April 16, in the university's Trois Gallery. The project, a collaboration between SCAD; the University of the Arts, Braunschweig, Germany; and the Klingspor Museum, Offenbach, Germany, features 60 selections of the best contemporary book art from the collections of the Klingspor and ACA Library of SCAD, and highlights student work from SCAD and the German university. 'No Translation Required' also will be exhibited in October 2010 at the Klingspor Museum - one of the most notable museums worldwide for the art of modern book production and typography.
"The project began with a three-week collaboration, wherein nine SCAD students, accompanied by two professors, traveled to Germany in Summer 2009 to create artists' books with students and faculty from the University of the Arts, Braunschweig. The program was made possible with funding from The Halle Foundation, which promotes understanding, knowledge and friendship between the people of Germany and the United States. The artists' books serve as a vehicle for creating cross-cultural understanding, as part of their organizational goal for promoting German and American relationships.
