Book Art at Type

By Ron Nurwisah, Boy Reporter

2006_6_19copyme.jpg
Who needs an excuse to visit a pretty new bookstore? Type, the new bookstore near Trinity Bellwoods which we’ve mentioned before on this blog is having a very appropriate art show. Nano – Nano is the graduation show from OCAD’s “Nano-publishing: Independent Publications” program taught by Torontoist pal Shannon Gerard.
The works explore the cultural place of the book, everything from threatened, obsolete artifact to beautiful art form. The opening of the show will be held June 21st, 6:30 pm, at Type 883 Queen St. W.

    great post, ron,
    no offense and all, (I know where you work), but TYPE may be the nicest book store in TO. Book City alum, Mika B. is the manager and she has incredible book-ordering skills. Her children’s section is unbelievable.
    The gallery space downstairs is inspired, though it has a bit of a pit feel to it just yet.
    They do great front window.
