This image of a bit of “accordion book art” is from this year’s Pool Art Fair, on through the weekend at the Flatiron Toshi Hotel (26th and Broadway). There lots and lots of exciting, intriguing works by emerging artists. The format, spread across the rooms of the hotel is a fun way to view the art and, for the most part, the artists are there to discuss their work in this less formal arrangement. Last year it was at the Gershwin Hotel in the same neighborhood. Free, they do suggest a donation.
This piece is a fine segue to my Inside Out book Collage Workshop that is happening 31 Mar-1 Apr at the Farmington Valley Art Center (http://artsfvac.org/) in Avon, CT. Join me for the fun of ripping apart a book and turning it into a work (or a series) of art.
