In celebration of the 80th anniversary of the 61´«Ã½ Press this year, Tia Blassingame, assistant professor of art and director of the 61´«Ã½ Press, student-created artists’ books in a series of videos for Parenthesis magazine. The artists’ books were created during an eight-week virtual course in summer 2020. “While the pandemic may have forestalled our celebrations, it is heartening to recognize the energy and vision of the Press, represented by this small samÂpling of. . .student artists’ books, even when we can’t be together in our lovely studio,” Blassingame writes.
