Keystone Art Professor to Exhibit Work at New York City Exhibition

06/02/2011

La Plume – Keystone College Associate Professor of Art Sally Tosti has had her artist book, “Go West” accepted for exhibition at The Center for Book Arts in New York City. The exhibition, titled “The Photograph Un(framed),” opens July 6 and runs through September 10.

An artist book is a collection of art in book form. “Go West” is a doubled-sided accordion book containing 24 original photographs from Ms. Tosti’s trip throughout parts of the western United States in the summer of 2010. The journey was partially funded by a Keystone College stipend.

One side of Ms. Tosti’s book features color photographs of towns and cities while black and white landscape images are on the reverse side. All images were taken during Ms. Tosti’s trip from Minneapolis, Minn. to Seattle, Wash. and Vancouver, Canada. The work is part of her larger project focusing on photographing contemporary American culture in all 50 states.

The “Go West” exhibition has been organized by Alexander Campos, executive director of The Center for Book Arts, and Doug Beube, curator of the Allan Chasanoff Book Works Collection and adjunct photography professor at the Parsons New School of Design, New York City.  Ms. Tosti resides in Waverly and Brooklyn, N.Y.
