ILLUSTRATE AND MULTIPLY: AN OPEN BOOK To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book examines how sequencing, a characteristic of time-based media, manifests itself in various ways within artists’ books. Borrowing its title from an undated, limited-edition Raymond Pettibon book, the exhibition highlights conceptual strategies and formal processes, and explores how the ordering of information—visual, textual, and material—affects meaning in books. To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book constitutes the first large-scale, museum survey of artists’ books in Los Angeles since 1978, presenting work dating from 1965 to the present by both emerging artists who have begun to experiment with this media and established artists who view bookmaking as an integral part of their artistic practice. Featuring books made in exclusive edition sizes of 100 or less, but also those with wide distribution and print runs of 1,000 or more, the presentation includes recent examples made available in a reading lounge where viewers are invited to physically interact with them. In addition to the many exceptional artists’ books from the holdings of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, augmented by those from several public and private local collections, MOCA presents a special site developed on moca.org that features animated sequences from selected works, essays by the curators, brief text entries for each book, and an extensive bibliography. To Illustrate and Multiply: An Open Book is organized by MOCA Librarian Lynda Bunting and MOCA Director of Publications Lisa Gabrielle Mark. MOCA

Cranston reading California writer, painter and sculptor Meg Cranston will make her first appearance at 192 Books to read from her two latest books. Good Morning Evil Genius is a tragic and humorous roman a clef which chronicles the adventures—or misadventures—of the unnamed Evil Genius and is accompanied by a series of drawings derived from a children’s coloring book. Hot Pants in a Cold Cold World is a survey of Cranston’s work and writing from 1987 to the present. Cranston, a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, creates work which encompasses object making, writing, performance, theatre and mixed media installation and, in these books, is for the first time lavishly surveyed in text and images. In her words, “the fundamental problem of art is finding a suitable form—a shape for your philosophy, a form that is as persuasive as language.” Seating is
limited, please call 212.255.4022 for reservations. |

Lequin Friday April 4th at 7:30pm @ Skylight books 1818 N. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90027 (323) 660-1175 Hello, As you may know, I am not a writer but I work with writing, words, and storytelling and I am thrilled to be featured in the month of small press at Skylight Books. (The writer friends say it is a fun deal.) With a microphone, a mini podium, and my little TV that looks like a helmet, I will be giving a presentation (Tupperware style) about my Book and DVD project. My project is titled The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD). In case you didn't know this project was launched in December 2007, and it is published by 2nd Cannons Publications. (It was a big hit!... Publisher Brian (P.B.) had to send it back to the printer.) I am going on tour in early June, and at this point I am not really sure when (if) I will be coming back to L.A., so this is your last time to get your book personally dedicated to you (unless you buy the knitted DELUXE copy, something can be arrange then. Errr…) Come on Friday, 4th of April, at Skylight Books, at 7:30pm (don't be late): - to find out what's really in the book; - to ask Julie what it is all about and make her stutter; - to view some clips from the DVD (not sure which one yet); - to figure out what's the relationship between the book, the DVD, and the Ice Skating Tree Opera and how it all came together. - to hear live reading taken from some paragraphs in the book; - meet Publisher Brian (P.B.) In case you can't make it on Friday April 4th: You will have to buy (with a credit card) yourself a copy of Julie's The Ice Skating Tree Opera- Director's cuts by visiting http://www.2ndcannons.com/ or calling the 2nd Cannons Hotline telephone number- that is (323) 267-0650 About the book: "The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD) was in Julie's daily planner for about 2 years. This is Julie's first publication ever (probably why it took so long). The book is very nice looking (about 23 cm. x 18 cm.); it has a lot of colored pages (err… Publisher Brian complained), and some funny words. The DVD takes a while to watch so you're really getting a lot for your money. There are has some singing, gossips, and green screen videos. About the author: Born in 1979, Julie Lequin is a French Canadian who makes videos, performs, and do watercolors in spare time. Julie is an active list-maker and she likes to waste time in making props for video, and sometimes she writes stories. Julie is leaving Los Angeles in early June to go on tour around the world (for artists residencies). No tears, it will be awesome. You can keep in touch with Julie if you check her gossip column: http://julielequin.blogspot .com About the publisher: 2nd Cannons Publications is Brian Kennon's project. While Brian Kennon was walking from the living room to the kitchen, he had the magical and whimsical idea of starting his own publishing company. That was in 2005 in Los Angeles, he never made it to the kitchen then. We nowadays call him P.B. (Publisher Brian). 2nd Cannons has been blowing up since its debut. |
