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?
The deadline to participate in Mr. Huang's project is July 31. Click here for details.
But for locals, and those attending the opening, you will be able to particpate by bringing a book to the reception and during the exhibit's run.
Deadline for Submissions: August 6, 2008
Participating Artists
Sandra Burke, Arthur Huang, Gunter Puller and others TBA.
