3:00 PM
Lawn Gnome Publishing Bookstore
905 N 5th St, Phoenix, AZ 85004

San Francisco-based book artist Ethan Rafal is bringing his new book, Shock and Awe, to Phoenix for an interactive launch event! We know winter hibernation and the holidays are in full swing, but if you're still in town we hope you'll come join us at Lawn Gnome Publishing for some book arts, cast-iron walnut pie, and whiskey!

Shock and Awe: A Mixed-Media Performance by Ethan Rafal
Free Event


A twelve-year, autobiographical project examining the relationship between protracted war and homeland decay, Shock and Awe is a meticulously crafted image, text, and found object journal that blurs the line between author and subject, and personal and authoritative histories. Completed over countless years traveling the United States, the project pulls from the traditions of documentary photography and writing set on the American road.

Jen Bervin, The Composite Marks of Fascicle 28, detail.
First Friday: Artist's Talk with Jen Bervin

ABBAers: we are coordinating a field trip to attend this exciting talk at the Phoenix Art Museum!  Let us know (email ABBA officer Angie Dell: amdell@asu.edu) if you'd like to join us, and we can coordinate rides and/or keep a look out for you at the event.  This event is sponsored by the University of Arizona Poetry Center, the Phoenix Art Museum, and UA College of Medicine-Phoenix.   

Event Info:  Join us for an artist's talk from Jen Bervin, co-editor of The Gorgeous Nothings: Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems, which was recognized as a 2013 best book of the year by The New Yorker and Times Literary Supplement.  Based in Brooklyn, Bervin works in hybrid forms that blend language, writing, and the visual arts.  Her works involve strong conceptual elements with a minimalist's eye for the poetic and essential.  Much of Bervin's work rotates around the poles of text and textile, elaborating that ancient connection through poems, archival research, artist books, and art.

"First used roughly 450 years ago, the technique of using pigmented starch paste to create designs on paper remains one of the simplest and most versatile decorative methods. Developed by bookbinders as an easy and inexpensive way to create covers and endsheets, pastepapers are each unique, but simple to produce in volume. Pastepapers are great for use in bookbinding, and they can also be used for greeting cards, wrapping paper, decorative boxes, collages, kites . . . anywhere you want bright, vibrant designs!"  source: https://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/bookarts/documents/cbac_pastepaper.pdf
