September 16, 2015, 6:30 pm
at Columbia University

Opening reception celebrating Columbia University's Rare Book & Manuscript Library acquisition of the Granary Books archive. About Granary Books: For nearly thirty years, Granary Books has brought together writers, artists, and bookmakers to investigate verbal/visual relations in the time-honored spirit of independent publishing. Granary's mission—to produce, promote, document, and theorize new works exploring the intersection of word, image, and page—has earned the Press a reputation as one of the most unique and significant small publishers operating today.
.. Granary Books remains committed to publishing innovative written and visual work, observing progressive scholarship, and supporting adventurous bookmaking while exploring the relationships between seeing and reading, reading and seeking. The event will be curated by Karla Nielsen and Sarah Arkebauer. More information here.
