Professor emeritus Karen Wirth is among six Minnesota-based artists featured in Volumes, the debut exhibition by the newly formed Audacious Book Cooperative.

Known for her conceptually rich and visually poetic work, Wirth brings her expertise in artist books, sculpture, and installation to this thoughtfully curated exhibition. Each artist, including Wirth, presents their work on two display shelves, one above and one below, creating a visual rhythm that invites close engagement.

Volumes marks the inaugural outing for the Audacious Book Cooperative, a collective dedicated to showcasing experimental approaches to the book as art. Alongside Wirth, participating artists include Todd Thyberg, Harriet Bart, Steven McCarthy, CB Sherlock, and Erica Spitzer Rasmussen.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
