Join us in person or online for an enlightening lecture on the evolution of print and book art by Harry Reese, the esteemed 2023 Lieberman Lecturer. In his seminal work "The Gutenberg Galaxy" (1962), Marshall McLuhan predicted that advancements in technology would lead to profound cultural shifts, forever altering the nature and purpose of books. While the fundamentals of bookmaking have remained relatively constant since Gutenberg's time, the cultural landscape in which books exist has undergone significant transformation. The advent of the electronic age, for instance, has elevated the book to the realm of art, ushering in the era of "book arts."

During this captivating evening with Harry Reese, this year's Lieberman lecturer, he will recount his experiences as a graduate student at Brown University, where he and his wife Sandra Liddell Reese established the renowned Turkey Press. Their work embodies a commitment to personal exploration and meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in the creation, exhibition, and teaching of contemporary book art. By showcasing works from their Turney Press and Edition Reese imprints, Reese will demonstrate that the visual nature of the humanities demands a greater appreciation, discussion, and comprehension of the contemporary artist book.

This prestigious annual lecture, named in honor of J. Ben Lieberman, founder of the American Printing History Association, is hosted at a different institution each year and delivered by a distinguished figure in the history of printing or book arts. Harry Reese, a former professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has played a pivotal role in the print and book arts community. With over five decades of collaboration with Sandra Liddell Reese, their Turkey Press and Edition Reese imprints have produced limited edition works encompassing letterpress printing, handmade paper, experimental printmaking, innovative bindings, and collaborations with artists and writers. Their contributions have garnered recognition from esteemed organizations, including the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

Make sure not to miss this extraordinary event, as Harry Reese delves into the fascinating journey "From Gutenberg to the Gallery: Five Decades of Print and Book Art," illuminating the profound impact of technology on the world of books.

Science & technology museums

It is a very worthwhile place to visit. I wonder why domestic museums cannot be like this, focusing on knowledge acquisition, without the messy rings, children&#39;s electric cars, and &quot;Dad&#39;s dad is grandpa&quot;

Golden Gate Park

Family-friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
