group bookmarking

On Sunday afternoon, April 3rd, we gathered with a group of people who expressed interest in the project to create/assemble/doctor various inserts for the books. At first, we were unsure how many people would actually show up, but in the end there were 9 of us, Uta and myself included. Uta set the afternoon up as a kind of drop-in-whenever-you-feel-like session, and many of the participants came with their own materials and sources of inspiration, adding a new dimension and aesthetic to the project. The session yielded over a hundred bookmark inserts, which will take us into the next leg of the project. Thank you to those who contributed over the 9 hour marathon!

Hi Uta!
I went to vernissage last night, but I went early and didn't see you! I wanted to stay longer, but I was afraid of being kicked out for eating too much pate and brie. What a great show!

Hey Uta and Sarah!

In the laundry room of my apartment building there is a "read and feed" pile through which people trade paperbacks and magazines. I scooped up a few to give you for the Finders Keepers rack in the gallery. Maybe I can bring some back as a way to spread word about your project and the exhibition?

Also, Christen told me that he has a number of books at home that he'd like to donate to the project. He'll bring them next time he comes to Ottawa, and I'll keep all of them in my office until the next time I see both of you.
