Powerhouse Books
And it is Sunday on this day, that day of rest. Or is that Saturday,
the Sabbath. And yet I find myself blaghing away. And I remember blah
blogging about PowerHouse Books
sometime a while ago on this blog. And it was for that book that was
all the rage titled "Tompkins Square", a black and white photography
book by Q. Sakamaki and essay by Bill Weinberg that appeared in
memoriam of the 20th Anniversary of the Tompkins Square Park Riots in
that Park, that park everywhere in that former New York City
neighborhood of the Lower East Side, that is now called the East
Village for real estate marketing purposes maybe. And that book rocked.
And this time Powerhouse Books, or is it Powerhouse Arena
is having an art exhibit called "2,191 Days and Counting" curated by
Maya Joseph-Goteiner and Chere Krakovsky to benefit Iraq Veterans
Against the War. And there are a hundred artists in that show. I know
because the flyer that they have on their website says so. And there
will be art and performances as part of the community's response to the
continuing Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. And videos will be a part of this
exhibition also. And some of those artists and performers include Danya
Abt, Grace Ann Alfiero, Waleed Ashad, Carol Ashley, Perry Bard, Nina
Berman, Wafaa Bilal, Jean Christian Bourcart, Sherrard Bostwick, Orna
Bradshaw, Pam Butler, Doris Caçoilo, Drew Cameron, Damian Catera,
