Fred Hagstrom’s artist books draw on print media’s rich history as a tool for promoting social issues. During this talk, Fred will discuss the context of his body of work and focus on two specific books that speak of the Seattle area and Japanese American history. Fred is the Rae Schupack Nathan Professor of Art at Carleton College, where he has taught since 1984. His work is represented in over 50 collections including the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Libraries, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Walker Art Center, and he is a recipient of The Excellence in Teaching Printmaking Award from Southern Graphics International.
