this looks cool
Printed Matter present an extensive exhibit of artist books by Canadian pioneering conceptual artist, Garry Neill Kennedy, opening on Thursday, April 12th 2012, at their storefront in New York… The show, curated by Adam O’Reilly, will present over 100 of Kennedy’s artist’s books as well as accompanying posters, silkscreen prints, photos, and ephemera. The exhibition will run from April 12th to May 30th at the Printed Matter storefront. You are invited to join for a launch on Thursday, April 12th, from 6 to 8pm. “Kennedy’s double life as an art administrator had a significant influence on his artwork, with his sharp wit and humor, the books in this exhibit range from institutional critiques, political and social investigations, to appropriated New Yorker cartoons.”
