*FREE* San Jose Museum of Art Day

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/4/1/2/event_54441522.jpegBOOK-ISH (on exhibit from September 25, 2011 through January 15, 2012)
The book as we have known it for centuries is challenged today by the rapid growth of digitization and e-books. This trend raises tough questions about the future of conventional books and the once-beloved printed page. In the midst of such radical change, this exhibition looks at the influence of the book on visual artists. Book-ish includes works from the Museum’s permanent collection that have been inspired by books, literature, language, and the artists’ reverence for reading.
