About The Traveling Book Show


Collaborating with friends and strangers through the Postal Service


On April 29, 2009 The Traveling Book Show exhibit opened at Crossett Library, Bennington College, a collaborative artist book project conceived by Dorothy Allen ‘09.

Dorothy explains, ” In late December 2008, I sat on my family’s living room floor with a box of donated paper, a box cutter, a needle and thread, and all the cardboard boxes my dad had stored over the recent months, and set out to make eighteen foldable, mailable blank books. I had sent out a call to as many people as I could think of from Bennington who might be interested in doing an exchange project over the winter, and made a book for every person who responded to my email. From there, each person got a blank book with an instructional letter. From then on, the rest is in the books. “
