Central Booking<\/a> is a new gallery in DUMBO dedicated to the art of the book:<\/p>\n

We exhibit the breadth of the various approaches to the form, since the artist book can be anything from a pamphlet done inexpensively on a copy machine to a letterpress codex bound book integrating words and images to a sculptural piece that is an object itself. Brooklyn has taken its position as a major art center in the world and it now has a space where artist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s books from established artists to emerging ones can be seen all in one place and on a continual basis.<\/p>\n

A very promising space, in a great area, with a clear focus and a dedication to more experimental understandings of the form. I’ve spoken to one of the curators, and he is keen to foster an undertsanding of the book through print, space, interaction, video and, of course, more traditional books.<\/p>\n

Yours truly has a couple of prints on the inaugural exhibition, which has an impressive list. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 6-9PM, 111 Front Street in DUMBO Brooklyn, Gallery 214.<\/p>\n
