> Come to Printed Matter this Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 PM for
> one last Radical Read-In and end the summer with a bang! Share your
> ideas, opinions, questions, visions, rants, raves and reactions to
> artists' books with the rest of the world while there's still time.
> Printed Matter is located at 535 West 22nd Street between 10th and
> 11th Avenues.
>
> All summer long Radical Read-Ins have been bringing members of the
> community into Printed Matter to share their favorite books or parts
> of books with each other. While browsing through the shelves, having
> afternoon refreshments and sitting on Justin Lowe's parquet floor made
> of tightly packed books in the Back Room, visitors exchange ideas
> about the books they are drawn to or want to draw others to. They can
> flag books on Printed Matter's table tops and bookshelves with
> specially designed bookmarks that have room to note particular pages,
> make written comments, or leave a name and contact information for
> future off-site discussions. Through the Radical Read-Ins, LTTR
> promotes reading as an activist undertaking, one that can band people
> together, revolutionize thinking, mobilize groups, or just expand a
> single person's view of the world or the self. Come see what it's all
> about!
>
> LTTR is a collective of artists, writers, activists and cultural
> producers who publish the annual queer feminist art journal, LTTR, and
> who initiate events, organize exhibitions, and promote the work of
> critical thinkers who reject absolute self-definition and
> identification. Come participate in the collaborative spirit of LTTR
> at Printed Matter this Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 PM and save
> the date of September 24 for the Block Party that will celebrate the
> publication and release of LTTR #4: "Do You Wish to Direct Me?" and
> the closing of Justin Lowe's Back Room exhibition.
