SKANK BLOC BOLOGNA
Number Two
TART launches the second issue of Skank Bloc Bologna on May 3rd, 2008 at Book It! New Langton Arts, San Francisco, 11-6pm.
Skank Bloc Bologna is a Semina-inspired art and poetry journal. Issue Number Two includes contributions from Dodie Bellamy, Bill Berkson, Anne Colvin, Eric Doeringer, Leo Estevez, Valery Grancher, Skylar Haskard, Colter Jacobson, Pat Lenz, Erlea Maneros, Bernadette Mayer, Tucker Nichols, Raqs Media Collective, Larry Rinder, Allen Ruppersberg, Margaret Tedesco and Ubuweb. This is a special 'Langton' edition as the contributing artists have either shown at New Langton Arts or have created a Langton-inspired piece specially for Skank.
Book It! is a one-day alternative publishing fair and panel discussion, that will bring together artist's books, zines, magazines, and online publications from the Bay Area and beyond.
Book It! is organized in conjunction with Alejandro Cesarco's Once Within a Room and Dexter Sinister's Phantom Rosebuds (current exhibitions) which reconsider the place of text, narrative, and reading in contemporary art and society.
