Colette Fu’s pop-ups structurally push the boundaries of the book. Her photographed based imagery is rich, detailed, and riveting; with each reading, the viewer’s experience grows and deepens. Fu is an extraordinarily accomplished artist. In this lecture she will share with us some of her innovative work and discuss some of the technology she uses. Following the lecture the members Hive76, Philadelphia's premier Hacker Space, will have demonstrations of some of the technology used in these stunning pop-ups books. http://www.hive76.org/ Colette Fu is an interdisciplinary artist who uses her vivid photographs in various forms of collage and collapsible artist books. Fu received her MFA in Fine Art Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003 and soon after began dissecting pop-up books which is now her primary medium of artmaking. A passionate photographer and exceptionally skilled paper engineer, Fu has designed pop-ups for award winning stop motion animation commercials and has freelanced for clients Vogue China, Canon Asia and Moët Hennessy • Louis Vuitton. Her work is included in many private and rare archive collections and she has received numerous awards including Fulbright, the Independence Foundation, Sovereign Foundation, and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. A passionate educator, she teaches pop-up courses and community workshops with marginalized populations at various art centers, universities and institutions internationally. www.colettefu.com Presentation will begin at 6:30. Light refreshments will be served. To get into 915 Spring Garden please buzz Hive76 at #0519. RSVP to events@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org. > More Events

ARTISTS' WORKING GROUPS This year, PCB is adding Artists' Working Groups to our lineup of member benefits - offering members a chance to join a critical community of artists and peers, approximately every other month, to share ideas and feedback about works in progress or in conception. These free Workings Groups will take place on weekends, either a Saturday or Sunday, and meet for about two hours at various host locations. Members can bring current, unfinished projects and ideas on which they would like feedback, and, occasionally, meetings may be topic or process-based (for instance, a group binding session). Space will be limited to 6-7 members per group meeting, first come first served, so we will be sure to announce each opportunity in advance! Our next Artists' Working Group will be on Saturday, May 25, 2013 at Noon - registration is currently closed. If you would like to attend an Artists' Working Group, get more information, or sign up to be a host for a meeting, please contact Susan Viguers at susan@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org.
