Just a note to let you know that the City Reader has been printed and is being shipped to me this week! One thousand copies have been made! For those of you getting a copy or two, they will be sent out to you as soon as they arrive!
And... the first issue will be part of Southern Exposure's Art Publishing Now Library; a two-day event dedicated to the investigation and showcasing of art publishing practices in the Bay Area.

Post CommentStarting today, I will be transforming the Adobe Books Parlor into an annex for the City Reader where I'll collect data from the 16th Street sidewalk. The storefront windows will house a desk and chair for "window sittings" and will encourage the reading of the city, dispatching materials for the first issue.
Stay tuned for upcoming events, with guest appearances!

Post CommentHello! The fundraising has reached its halfway point and the project has attained 61% funding! With this update, I want to introduce the contributors of the first issue.
Sarah Fontaine, Tammy Fortin, Peter Hyer, Robin Johnston, Kelly Lynn Jones, Alexis Petty, Molly Prentiss, Aimee Shapiro, Eric Slatkin, Joel Stillman, and Christine Wong Yap
Click on their names to get directed to their websites!
Also, Reading Conventions will be doing a window residency in partnership with Adobe Books Parlor (an exhibition venue in Adobe Books' Storefront Window). From August 9th - September 26th, I will be using the Storefront Window to spread the word about the project, make a sidewalk installation, and do window sittings (researching/drawing/writing about the sidewalk and facade).
More details will be available in the following week.
