Arts Library - Phase Two

Bookstores in Tokyo
Prowling the city for good books

"Art lovers receive a cerebral treat" is the title of a recent article on Vietnam News about the arts library in Ho Chi Minh City. I can't help but conjur the image of Hannibal Lechter watching that poor guy eat his own brain in the Silence of the Lambs sequel, Red Dragon. Anyhow, by bookstore hopping, I was able to acquire some valuable additions to the arts library during my short time in Tokyo last week (between torrential downpours from Typhoon Mawar)- including an absolutely delicious arts quarterly called ARTiT. The Mizuma Gallery donated two amazing books for the library. In the near future, we hope to add a media station for video and experimental sound art. I'll be heading to SB in the next days to post new exhibition, residency and events information on the bulletin board.

If anyone has experience or suggestions on how to improve the arts library, please contact me. Click the image above for larger view.
