I have some books of new work for sale at Edicola, an exhibition of artist's books organized by Colpa Press, in San Francisco...

Colpa Press Presents Edicola
Opening March 15, 2012
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-6pm
At the corner of Market & 6th, San Francisco, CA

Colpa Press will partner with the Central Market Street Revitalization Program to create a venue for artist books, prints, and albums, on the corner of Market and 6th St. Edicola is dedicated to providing a platform for emerging artists to reach their community through support from the public and by repurposing a kiosk that would otherwise be vacant. The stand will feature artists and musicians, both local and international, who work with the print format. It will focus on work that pushes the independent publishing envelope, through creative strategies of printing paired with high concept work.

Hennessy Youngman (played by artist Jayson Musson) "offers screamingly funny and sometimes sharply critical observations on the art world in the form of instructional videos. Topics range from the perils of copying Bruce Nauman to understanding relational esthetics, to how to be a successful artist." (Art in America)
