Description	Group exhibition featuring approximately 120 works from OTIS Millard Sheets Library's Special Collection of 2,100 artists books dating from the 1960s to the present. The Otis Artists' Book Collection is one of the largest in Southern California. It houses a wide range of works representing every genre of artists' books by such luminaries as Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, and Ed Ruscha, as well as significant works from major centers of production like Beau Geste Press, Paradise Press, Printed Matter, Red Fox Press, and Woman's Studio Workshop. A foundational strength of the collection is its holdings of artists books made in the 1960s and 1970s -a time when this material was often not collected by libraries because so much of it was hard to define, catalog and house. The exhibition also includes a reading room showcasing new work produced by OTIS students in the Fall 2013 semester.
Notes	Binding Desire is organized by the Ben Maltz Gallery with the curatorial council of the following OTIS staff and faculty: Cathy Chambers, Assistant Director of the Library; Rebecca Chamlee, Associate Professor in Book Arts; Linda Dare, OTIS Lab Press Manager; Jeseca Dawson, 2012-14 Curatorial Fellow; Nancy Jo Haselbacher, Associate Professor in Communication Arts; Meg Linton, Director of Galleries and Exhibitions; Sue Maberry, Director of the Library and Instructional Technology; Barbara Maloutas, Associate Chair, Communication Arts; and JT Steiny, Senior Lecturer in Illustration. Additional project advisors and partners include Guy Bennett, Professor in OTIS Liberal Arts and Sciences and Grad Writing; Kathleen Walkup, Professor and Book Art Program Head, Mills College, CA; and artist Susan E. King. This project is funded in part by The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation and campus project partners include OTIS Millard Sheets Library, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Lab Press, Communication Arts and Continuing Education.
