    The Hundred Story House now on Kickstarter

    Dear faithful backers,

    I want to let you all know about my latest public art project called "The Hundred Story House" on Kickstarter

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/193679801/the-hundred-story-house

    We could use all of the support that you gave for "Tourist-In-Chief" and a little more!

    Thanks so much for the continued support

    Project Description:

    "The Hundred Story House" is a collaborative public artwork by film producer Julia Marchesi and public artist Leon Reid IV. It is a miniature Brooklyn brownstone whose windows open upon shelves of books (about 100 of them), which can be borrowed by the community. Situated in the Cobble Hill Park on Clinton Street, the House is a tiny lending library open to all and operating on the honor system -- take-a-book, leave-a-book. This is an effort to celebrate the BOOK as a physical object, and the pleasure of holding it in your hand. Or better yet, placing it in someone else’s.
