Press Links

This exhibit addresses the quality and quantity as well as the speed
and volume of information, its absorption (or lack thereof); all
hallmarks of contemporary life. The sixteen artists/artist teams chosen work in a range of media, from traditional painting to sculpture, video, installation and more.

Featuring The Unread Book Project by Arthur Huang of California
From the artist's statement:

The Unread Book Project was initiated about five years ago as a
response to my unrelenting habit of buying books and then having the
vast majority going unread for one reason or another. Do you have a
stack of books in your home that has been sitting there collecting dust
for months or even years? Are there books that you tell
yourself that you will eventually read, but don't? Do you want to share
the book as well as the story of one of those unread books?

Attention Locals (and anyone attending the opening)
You may participate by bringing a book to the reception or anytime during the exhibit's run!
