Robert Wiesenberger, curator of contemporary projects, leads a special member tour of Raffaella della Olga: Typescripts. Raffaella della Olga uses prepared typewriters and multicolor ink ribbons on a range of materials—from tracing paper to photo paper to sandpaper—to make unique artist’s books, each addressed to a different conceptual or technical problem. This tour explores the artist's process, materials, and motivations in the context of rare artists' books from the Clark's library collections.
