Community is a collaborative artist book project made up of individual catalog cards contributed by a multitude of artists from around the world. Each artist was asked to respond to the prompt: “What does community mean to you?” The result is a collection of artwork and typewritten responses in an index card catalog drawer. Compiler Ray Zill, a librarian and book artist, sought to better understand how to build community by building one herself. The resounding conclusion is that we need community now more than ever.
I contributed a library card featuring the gazebo that my father built for community gathering in our neighborhood in Peoria, Illinois.
