Book Arts Roundtable: Sofa and Love $499
Friday, July 19, 7pm
Visiting artist Shana Agid uses books and printmaking as a means for homing in on physical and social landscapes, political and built environments, through explorations of space and time. In this artist talk, Shana will discuss aspects of this work with a specific focus on developing content and ideas from a range of sources (theory, visual culture, and found and made images and texts) and will discuss the ways that making the work changes the ideas at its core, so that the process of making becomes one, also, of theorizing and re-imagining both what is found and what is made. Shana Agid is a Brooklyn-based artist, writer and Assistant Professor at Parsons the New School for Design in New York, where he teaches artists’ books, service design and collaborative design. During her Spring 2012 residency at MCBA, Shana used the Vandercook SP-25 to print Call a Wrecking Ball to Make a Window, a map-fold book with original text that explores routes taken and spaces made by queer people in New York City from the 1970s through the 2000s. Agid's work focuses on relationships of power and difference, particularly regarding sexuality, race and gender in visual and political cultures. Free and open to the public.

The Nature of Dogs by Mary Ludington
July 19 – August 19
Opening reception: Friday, July 19, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
The most social and loyal of all animals, dogs are much more than simply pets. Each breed has its own beauty, grace and purpose. Plus, as the people who love them know, every dog possesses captivating elements of mystery. Mary Ludington has devoted her work over the last 15 years to discovering and capturing “the essence” of man’s and woman’s best friend. In The Nature of Dogs exhibit and accompanying book published by Simon & Schuster, Ludington presents her favorite photos of dogs, covering the full spectrum of breeds. Each photograph stands alone and speaks volumes about its subject’s unique character and behavior. Grouped together by broad canine categories (Hounds, Non-Sporting, Terriers, Herding, Sporting, Working, Toys), the photographs spotlight a striking diversity of individual dogs. To complement the portraits, evocative commentaries shed light on the origins, history and hallmarks of each featured breed. For information: http://www.mplsphotocenter.com/exhibits/upcoming-exhibits.php.
Jack Mader: Reading Material
July 19 – August 19
Opening reception: Friday, July 19, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
The books gathered for this series have been obtained from areas that were once inhabited by transients and homeless people. The books were found in carrying bags, suitcases and out in the open in and around abandoned campsites. Many of the books have spent years out in the elements of sun, rain and snow. I carefully remove the books from where I found them and bring them into my studio. There I photograph them as though they were ancient relics. These books have stories of their own to tell. Ultimately this series is a narrative about the effects of time and the elements, the essence of books, an exploration of what it is that makes a book and how someone might use a book for something other than its intended purpose. Occasionally in this series the title of the book and/or the author's name may appear in the image. This is merely a coincidence and has no effect on the narration, as the images of the books in this series are not about the story line in the text or the author.

Join us for a “behind-the-scenes” history of the busy streets, unique businesses and colorful people that have shaped this popular walking neighborhood.
