Thanks to everyone who came out to the opening of Lending Library at Adobe Books Backroom Gallery. It was really nice to see so many friendly faces of artists, art lovers, and book lovers browsing the references with so much curiosity.
Congrats to the fellow artists and especially to curator Dena Beard, whose concept and hard work resulted in a lively showing of very different references…
- Visitors are invited to take photocopies from each of the artists; curator Dena Beard made these neat folders for the takeaway ephemera.
- Adobe Books Backroom Gallery is a tiny but venerable SF arts site. An honor to be included.
- Kevin Killian’s altar to Kylie Minogue, with some books of poetry (left), Tom Marioni’s inspirational photos of artists (center) and Colter Jacobsen’s objects, which included photo albums (right).
- Stephanie Syjuco’s display.
- Stephanie and I shared a reference: the catalog for the Shopping exhibition at Tate Liverpool.
- Stephanie had a book by Michael deCerteau, someone I’ve been meaning to read!
