EVENTS CALENDAR FOR THE REBOUND BOOKSTORE THROUGH June, 2012 AN EXCEPTIONAL ART EXHIBIT - 14 SAN FRANCISCO-BASED INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS ---Margialia--- A group exhibition of 14 artists responding to the role of text as an (imperfect) intercessor between experience and memory. April 7–June 1, 2012 Opening Reception: Saturday, April 7, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm San Rafael Art Walk Opening: Saturday, April 14, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. There will be a second opening reception as part of the Downtown San Rafael Art Walk: Friday, April 13, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Rebound Books and No Reservations Art are pleased to present Marginalia, a group exhibition of 14 international artists invited to respond to the role of the book in contemporary culture. Using a broad range of visual strategies—drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, sculpture, video, and performance—these artists explore visual and conceptual relationships to the book as text and cultural object. The exhibition centers on the complex relationship between text and memory, specifically the idea of text as a site of recollection as well as distortion and loss of past experience. While focusing on the transitive nature of the written word and its limitations as a mediator of meaning, these artists also recognize that new meanings emerge from the experience of writing, reading, and even the presence of books. Featuring the work of: Allie Blanchard, Suwon Cho, Lisé Currie, Adam Donnelly, Francesca Du Brock, Seul Hwa Lydia Eum, Danielle Gravon, Erin Hall, Carrie Sinclair Katz, Dara Lorenzo, Tom Loughlin, Andréanne Michon, Sandra Osborne, Naaman Rosen ____________________
