Carol Barton

Carol Barton (born 3 June 1954) is a book artist, paper engineer, curator, and educator. She is the proprietor of Popular Kinetics Press and has published several editions of artist books. She may be best known for her series of interactive workbooks, ''The Pocket Paper Engineer''.

"I try to find ways to push a book’s pages beyond their flat surfaces and to integrate a message into the book’s form, weaving visual and verbal narrative into the magic of a third dimension.” 〔Wasserman, Krystyna (2007). ''The Book as Art: Artists' Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts'', p. 130. New York: Princeton Architectural Press. ISBN 1-56898-609-2.〕

==Biography==

Barton was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, North America. She earned her BFA in 1976 from Washington University School of Fine Arts and graduated as a painting major. While in college, she took a fundamentals class in three-dimensional design, during which she developed a fondness for how objects function from an engineering standpoint. This experience, in combination with her figurative work, seemed an early indicator of her interest in pop-up books.
After moving Washington, D.C. in 1977, Barton was hired as an arts administrator at the Glen Echo Park Arts Center. The Writers’ Center, a resident organization formed by graduates of Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, presented Barton’s first exposure to the book arts. When The Writers’ Center received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to produce twenty artists’ books, Barton was invited as a participant in the project. She welcomed the opportunity to explore the book form as an artistic medium.
Barton’s first book, ''Beyond the Page'' (1981), was produced with use of die cuts and she found it to be a trying experience. She was prepared to abandon her work in the book arts until two things happened: She experienced success when her edition of ''Beyond the Page'' sold out and she was exposed by a friend to an early Italian ''Sleeping Beauty'' carousel book. She became enthralled with the concept that a book could be both sculptural and mechanical.
Fueled by her renewed interest in the book arts, Barton embarked on a two-year study of movable and pop-up books, which began at the Smithsonian’s Dibner Rare Book Library. She traveled to libraries and collections across the United States where she discovered a wide variety of books utilizing sculptural formats and uncommon engineering techniques. As she began to better understand the materials and methods used in the construction of these books, Barton began compiling ideas for the production of her own editions of artist books.
One result of her research was that Barton is credited with reestablishing the tunnel book as a book structure 〔Hutchins, Ed (Winter 2002). "Exploring Tunnel Books". ''Artists' Books Reviews''.〕 The tunnel format was used in tourist souvenirs and commemorative books as early as the mid-18th century.〔Wasserman, Krystyna (2007). ''The Book as Art: Artists' Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts'' , p. 130. New York: Princeton Architectural Press. ISBN 1-56898-609-2.〕
Barton started teaching in 1983 at the Pyramid Atlantic Center for Paper, Print, & Books. Through many years of teaching, Barton found that the best way for students to learn paper engineering techniques was through direct, hands-on experience. It was this knowledge that inspired the creation of her workbook series on pop-up design and construction, ''The Pocket Paper Engineer''. Barton continues to teach as a faculty member of The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and in classrooms around the world.
Barton’s work has been published in many publications and exhibited internationally. Her work is in many collections, including The Getty Museum, Library of Congress, Museum of Modern Art, The Smithsonian Institution, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
