Saturday, October 20, 2012 | 6 - 10 PM

For the fifth consecutive year, Darin Klein & Friends present the collaborative 'zine project Box of Books. An all-new selection of artists and friends has learned to make their very own simple booklet using a single piece of paper and a specific folding technique. The outcome is an edition of 100 boxes, all containing each of the participants’ work - a diverse and exciting mix of images and texts, and a broad range of styles and concepts.

Handmade artists' books by Brandon Andrew, Sadie Barnette, Ryan Brewer & AA Bronson, Deric Carner, Ray Cha, Joshua Cheney, Brian Gainey, JIMMY the zine, Daniel Ingroff (MFA 2014), Jonesy, Karen Kevorkian, Tommy Kovac, Molly Larkey, Perla Yasmeen Melendéz, Narcissister, Paul Pescador (MFA 2012), Steven Reigns, Jimena Sarno (MFA 2014), Matt Wardell, and Suzanne Wright.

At this one-night only launch party and reception, the public is invited to peruse the contents of the box, which is available to purchase for $20.00 per box. Also in store for the evening are an accompanying Exhibition, Poetry Reading and Short Film Screening - all featuring Box of Books, Vol. V participants.
