Bookmark Project 2010: Amulet | October 23 to 31, 2010
Guest Curator: Anisia Avram
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: OCTOBER 4, 2010

Presented with the 34th Annual Toronto Jewish Book Fair
at Beth David B’nai Israel Beth Am Synagogue, 55 Yeomans Rd

For the ninth consecutive year, the Koffler Gallery presents The Bookmark Project, an intervention of artist-designed bookmarks concurrent with the annual Toronto Jewish Book Fair organized by the Koffler Centre of the Arts. Unique bookmarks and multiples created by practicing artists and visual art students will be inserted clandestinely into the thousands of books for sale at the 34th Annual Book Fair. The bookmarks will also be presented in an online exhibition at www.kofflerarts.org.

This year’s theme, Amulet, considers the role of the bookmark as a talisman throughout the adventure of reading. The book, an intricate construction of text and ideas, is designed to capture and bring the reader into another world – a world through which only the bookmark can provide safe passage.
