"Paper Engineering: The Pop-up Book Structures of Vojtech Kubasta, Robert Sabuda and Andrew Binder" will be on exhibit through March 12, 2004 in the Bienes Center for the Literary Arts at the Main Library, 100 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale.
The free exhibition will showcase a sampling of about 50 titles by the three artists.
A native of Czechoslovakia, Vojtech Kubasta studied architecture, designed puppet theater scenery, and worked as a book illustrator.
In working with children's books, he had a knack for creating complex pop-up effects folded from a single board, without elaborate gluing and assembly.
Robert Sabuda is the creator of pop-up versions of classic children's books including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and The Night Before Christmas.
He also has used paper in other unusual ways, such as simulated handmade Egyptian papyrus for his book Tutankhamen's Gift, and paper cut to resemble mosaics in Saint Valentine.
Andrew Binder was a winner of the 2001 Florida Artists' Book Prize awarded by the Bienes Center and the Florida Center for the Book. He holds a master of fine arts degree from the University of Miami, and is the coordinator of applications and webmaster for Florida Atlantic University.
