The Catalogue Edition Book will be 6×9 inches covered in a red book cloth with a white “Pause, to Begin” foil stamp. Once the first run is complete it will be available for sale through Pause, to Begin and our publisher Booksmart Studio.
Here is one spread from the book with Tim Briner’s work.
After the exhibition opening on the 2nd David and I met with Eric Kunsman of Booksmart Studio and Tom Pinzon of New Ridge Bindery to discuss the final details of producing the Catalogue Edition Pause, to Begin Book.
Stay tuned to the blog and our newsletter for more updates about the upcoming book. It will be available for sale through both the Pause, to Begin website and the Booksmart Studio website.
Here is one spread of John Mann’s photos from the book designed by Josh Gomby.
Ethan and I opened the first Pause, to Begin exhibition last Friday, January 2, 2009 at Booksmart Studio in Rochester, New York. It was an enormous success, and we were pleased with the turn out and response.
It was great to see many new and old faces. We both had the pleasure of meeting Tony Bannon, Director of the George Eastman House, whom commented on the high quality of work being shown.
Thank you to Andy Super, Gallery Manager at Booksmart Studio for all the work he did in bringing the exhibition together, and thank you to Eric Kunsman, our publisher at Booksmart Studio, for continuing to support and believe in our project.
Thank you to all our girlfriends and friends who willingly (I swear!) gave up their time to hang the exhibition: Katie, Hannah, and Eric.
Thank you to Shannon Johnstone and Sonja Thomsen. Shannon flew in from North Carolina and Sonja flew in from Milwaukee. It was wonderful to see and catch up with you both. We had a blast.
And a special thank you to my parents for making the drive all the way from Syracuse in a snowstorm AND staying the entire 3 hours. That’s love.
A few pictures from opening night…
Sonja made some pics and a post, too.
On the left is myself talking to Shannon and on the right is Ethan talking to Sonja.
We are pleased that the Pause, to Begin Exhibition will open this Friday, January 2 from 6 – 9pm at Booksmart Studio in Rochester, New York.
Artists Sonja Thomsen and Shannon Johnstone will be at the opening and giving an informal talk about their work during the opening.
Here are a few sneak-peak installation photos of the exhibition.
Our wonderful Graphic Designer, Josh Gomby has also created this poster for the event.
You can view a pdf of the Press Release here.
If you are in Rochester on Friday please be sure to stop by the opening, we would love to see you there.
Happy New Year!
