The Reader

THE READER: Group Exhibition APRIL 10 - June 9, 2023 Including artists: Abelardo Morell, Doug Hall, Lauren Semivan, Roger Steffens and The Family Acid, Simon Brown Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” Plato Visual artists have been making work about books for centuries. The idea of a work of art that memorializes, elevates and sings homage to another work of art is a genre in and of itself. The conversation between art forms is one of the great synergies of human creativity. But what is it about the book form and the camera that creates magical architecture? Is it the power of a line on a page: several dashes strung together that can change the course of humanity? Is it the texture of the paper, the way the ages inhabit and haunt this fragile wisp? Or is it just the form itself? The solidity and organization of these small rectangles that give our life power and meaning and allow us to live forever? It's all of these things. In homage to the books of our lives, the endless giving that they do, and even the dust they may collect....we offer "The Reader," a group exhibition of photographers and their books.
