Altered Book

MECA and the Portland Public Library teamed up to present "Long Overdue: Book Renewal." Starting with books that had been withdrawn from the Portland Public Library as no longer suitable for circulation, more than 200 artists overseen by the Maine College of Art have – through deconstruction of text, assemblage, collage and other means –created “new” works of art. After a gallery exhibit and series of discussions opened to the public, these works were re-introduced into the Library system as new items and are now available to anyone in the United States who possesses a library card.
