Read Here Now Sharing stories about reading.
Do you have a memory of reading a book, a story that you always associate with where you were, and what you were doing while reading it? While making my window installation Between Here & Now, I was thinking about this idea of experiencing both my physical location and the world in my mind at the same time.
Come to Kala Art Institute’s Milvia/Addison Windows in downtown Berkeley, Thursday, August 26, 5:00-7:00pm and we will read our memories to each other and share other stories about reading.
Write down your memory, take a photo, and email to may@mvmarsh.com. I will be sharing them on my instagram @quitecontrarypress and putting them together into an artist’s book.
