Ohio U. Press combines two catalogues in one book, representing two juried exhibitions held at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio, from May 23 to September 1, 2008. The Bead International 2008 features 68 works created by 52 artists, using a variety of items, from barrettes to bullets, from the edible to the industrial, from the tiniest beads to large handmade glass beads, to create works demonstrating the variety of techniques in contemporary beadwork. The Beyond Basketry exhibit showcases 67 works by 42 artists, working in a variety of styles, colors, and shapes, building on traditional forms and infusing them with modern visions and techniques. The majority of the works are accompanied by the artists' statements. Both catalogues are edited by Dairy Barn Arts Center executive director, Andrea R. Lewis, and illustrated with full-color photographs. No subject index.
