a reading room
Alex Itin, the Institute’s artist-in-not-quite-residence, is having an opening soon. He says:
I will be filling four walls with a floor to ceiling installation of images extruded over the last several years for the Art Blog: IT IN Place: http://www.futureofthebook.org/itinplace/
The work will include drawings and collage made over the pages of Fluxus, Time Life Collectibles, and Ulysees. A selection of animations and experimental videos will be projected into the grid of pages.
The Opening is Friday September 26th from 6:00 to 11:00 at USSA Fine Arts which is located in Willamsburg Brooklyn, right along the Williamsburg Bridge, between Bedford and Berry Avenues:
109 South 5th Street #204
Brooklyn, NY
(718) 305-1676
There will be live music and refreshments. I hope to see you there. The installation will be up for about a month. Please forward the invite to anyone you think might be interested.
thanx,
alex
