Gwen Allen at Printed Matter and Dia:Chelsea
Following the release of her new book, Gwen Allen will be in NYC tonight, Friday June 10, for a book signing of Artists’ Magazines: An Alternative Space for Art (MIT Press, 2011). Here are the full details of the event hosted by Printed Matter from 6—8 p.m.
While she’s in town, Allen will also be participating in the panel discussion, “Volume Number” tomorrow, Saturday, June 11 at Dia:Chelsea from 6—8 p.m.
The talk will focus on the history of artist publications and their relation to contemporary publishing projects.
Presenters include Matt Keegan, Paul Chan, Angie Keefer, David Platzker and Colby Chamberland. More about the panelists is up at Triple Canopy.
It’s exciting that Allen’s book provokes an exchange of ideas among contemporary artists in the very same artist spaces explored in the book. Read the interview I conducted with her back in March on AHORA.
Thanks, Joanna.
