Had the pleasure of working with my friend Brandon Cotter on curating and designing this reading room that was installed at the Project Space Fundraiser Event on September 28th and will also be installed at Project Space’s Vancouver Art/Book Fair 2015 (Vancouver Art Gallery Annex, 750 Hornby Street – located in the second floor stairwell)

The Garden is a modular reading room installation by Moniker Press, in collaboration with artist Brandon Cotter. Objects reconstructed from salvaged materials host a collection of local artists’ books, zines and publications that open to topics of contemporary thought, art criticism, boundaries and restrictions, as well as other unusual and unique subject matters.

Sit. Read. Stay awhile.
