Do you understand? these dozen author people will converge for one evening, each speak their part in an art piece conceived from their creations—one night only—and then walk down the stairs (or take elevator) onto Market St., and make their decisions?
No one turned away for lack of funds, ever. Come make art // breathe //
Other News:
- Apr 12 Chemical Wedding @ The Emerald Tablet: Jason Morris, Clara Hsu, Alejandro Murguia + more TBA
- May 4 @ Chez Poulet (will this be a book release for The Sacred Text of Rosa Who is Great, written by Marcus Lund, illustrated by Stella Peach and printed by Tiny Splendor? Maybe! We hope so! What would that even look like? Last one was cool. Oh, I meant book release.
- Jun 4 Neighborhood Heroes @ Contemporary Jewish Museum. Is it too much to say that on this date, Daniel Alarcón, Brenda Hillman, Benjamin Hollander, Kathryn Ma, Gloria Frym, Katie Wheeler-Dubin, and Tomas Moniz are all going to read for us? For only $10, with a book and cheap frosties, Lagunitas style? That lineup without introductions is like the best 70 minutes of television that will never happen. Meanwhile, you could be tickling someone’s palm, silently and clearly smiling at your inability to say but a fraction of what you think, in this moment and ever, but hot potatoes bless the moon, the earth rock and the stupid flesh. I bring this up bc you can participate:
- Bound to Be Held: you can donate a book that’s been important to you to this museum exhibition that includes only such books and will be re-arranged, based on taste, color, etc. throughout the exhibition. Truly cool! If you’re interested, follow this link.
- You can just get a ticket and go to the show. This option no losers. Last year. The year before.
