neithernor: gottlund: Attn: Baltimore I’m assisting Open Space this year in organizing their annual publication & multiples fair which will be held Saturday April 28th and Sunday April 29th for 12 pm to 6 pm.As part of the fair we would like to curate a selection of books to be on display in the library over the weekend.  We are asking you, the Baltimore community to loan us your books for the weekend.  The idea being to show those books that are most important to us…these are the books that you own.  They can be artists books, art books, cook books, pornography, comics, novels, pamphlets, etc…  It can literally be any book.  It will, I imagine become a motley crew of books in different conditions, smells, shapes and sizes.  In a town where there is a free “book thing”, this type of showcase seems especially fitting.At this point we are only looking to find out who is into the idea and wants to participate.  We don’t need your books until later in the spring.  Carey Chiaia and I will do the final edit / selection.  Each person will be asked to select one book to show.  If your book is precious and you don’t want people touching it, we will have a long covered display case for housing those books.  Otherwise, we will also have shelves installed so that people can look through the collection.Please respond to me and / or Open Space as soon as possible, so that we can start to get a count of how many books will be included.  The more the better.  Feel free to email me with any questions.  Please re-blog / email this to anyone you feel would be interested in loaning a book!! -N.G. lemme see yr books, Baltimore! Hey Everyone, We’re working with Nick Gottlund to organize this year’s fair! Please contribute to this project.

  Make/Shift January - March, 2012 New works by Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez (b. 1983) is a cuban-born artist, musician, and writer who lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland. Using techniques borrowed from the world of commercial art, he examines the roles of design, labor and production in an atmosphere where virtuality often supersedes actuality. By diffusing the objective of marketing, he arrives at a commercial language mangled by its own transitory nature. His digital renderings, videos, paintings, and sculptures often express a sense of transitioning through a social hierarchy, as if third and first world sensibilities collided in an amalgamation of structure and disarray. His work has been exhibited  at home and abroad in such exhibitions as the Prague Contemporary Art Festival and Art 42 Basel in Basel, Switzerland. More recently, his illustration work was exhibited as part of Interboro Partners’ ”Holding Pattern”, a summer exhibition at Moma PS1.

I’m looking at a photograph.  A man in a crisp 1950’s business suit stands pensively in some type of barn or warehouse space, its difficult to tell which. A strong silhouette is cast from the window behind him, its full daylight outside but the space of the photograph is intensely dark.  Some daylight is spilling down over the mans right hand and one can see some type of mechanical wreckage at his feet, metal and rivets mangled into a strangely organic form.  The man’s gaze however is not down at the ruins immediately in front of him; it’s straight ahead as if he’s looking out onto the horizon. He’s gazing at something outside of the frame, out into the darkness.    Black coal formed to the shape of a model T fender, a shadow of a bygone era.  A clean black rectangle of glass, reminiscent of the border of every MacBook Pro screen.  A reminder that the past lies as much in the realm of the imagination as the future.   Open Space is pleased to present Riches & Ruin new works by Benjamin Kelley.  November 5 – December 17th 2011 Opening reception November 5th  2011, 7-11pm    Open Space 2720 Sisson St. Baltimore MD 21211
