Saturday, 9/19, 7-9pm: "Volume 20: Storytelling" Launch and Party

Join us to celebrate the release of "Volume 20: Storytelling," featuring comments by MARK WIGLEY to celebrate the publication of "Volume"'s milestone 20th issue. Drinks and music to follow.

"The children's story is well suited to counteract the resignation and incapacitation that often accompanies trauma, since its fantastical plots aim to summon the imaginative potential of the reader's captive mental state. Rather than try to discern reality from fantasy, contributors like Lewis H. Lapham, Neil Denari, Catherine Hardwicke, Dave McKean, Tom McCarthy, Smiljan Radic, Lucia Allais and Roger Dean would encourage us to cycle between conscious and unconscious states, work-life and dream-time, desire and disappointment, material reality and history because to do so is essential to an enhanced experience of the physical environment. For good reason, people say a story isn't worth telling if it can't be told to a child. A simple, distilled story that clarifies the crisis, and that aids the formulation of policies to better understand and animate the physical environment, is definitely worth telling."
