Fall News

VisualBooks
Light Work, Syracuse NY
November 1 - December 16

The gallery reception for my show will be November 3 (5–8pm)  and also serves as the kickoff event to the Society of Photographic Education (SPE) Northeast/Mid-Atlantic regional conference titled Photographers + Publishing, which will be hosted by Light Work and Syracuse University.



Light Work gave me a free hand in putting together Contact Sheet, their award-winning publication which serves as a catalogue/monograph for artists exhibiting in the main gallery. A special conference edition will be published in a run of 250 which includes an original work of art.

Art of the Book
An exhibition in celebration of the Rochester Public Library 100th Anniversary
October 21 - December 4, 2011
Hours: Sun 1–5pm; Mon 12–8pm; Tue-Fri 10am–6pm; Sat 10am–5pm 

A book from the continuing "Hanging Index" series is on display at the Lower Link Gallery, Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County, 115 South Ave. (and was chosen as"best in show"[!]) This volume, Last Lines of Poetry, was deaccessioned from the Arnett branch and purchased through the Central Library bookstore. I highly recommend this store for your holiday shopping, if not for raw art materials.

SMVB Catalog online


This year's New York Art Book Fair was a great success and a lot of fun. I managed to update my printed catalog for the occasion, adding half as many pages of new digital editions. Hannah Frieser, the director of Light Work and a veritable font of good ideas, prompted me to load it up to issuu.com  <>. It's basically my books-in-print that can be found on the website but viewable in a virtual page-turning book space. Check it out.
