Frgm is a collaboration of three bookbinders and one foil gilder. They began their activity in October 2011 with the goal of introducing reliure as an accessible art form to a wider audience. They are made up of Mari Hatano, Fumiko Ishida, Madoka Taira, and Minako Nakaura. “Reliure” is the French word for “bookbinding.” Its meaning includes the mechanical binding of those standard books sold in stores, but it also carries the strong connotation of craftsmanship, or binding as art. Book lovers commission these craftsworkers to bind works from their own libraries, creating a volume that is utterly unique (for instance, by using goat leather or calf leather and adding other decorations to its design). This exhibition will display 35 works by the members of frgm.
