~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

This Saturday, we will execute our final installation! Harnidh Kaur’s poem, How to Drape a Sari, will spend the next few weeks at Krispyfringe Vintage in West Town / Ukrainian Village.

We’re very happy to be included in Krispyfringe’s snazzy window display, and we think you’ll enjoy their aesthetic too. Krispyfringe sells clothing and accessories as well as home goods and furniture, so if you’re into cool vintage items then stop by during business hours.

Krispyfringe is open:
Wednesday – Friday: 12pm to 7pm
Saturday – Sunday: 11am to 6pm
Closed Mondays and Tuesdays

They are located at 2130 W. Chicago Ave.

Finally! Here are some images from our current installation, Kelsey Hoff’s poem, Lampyridae, at 57th Street Books.

As we mentioned before, we are a little behind schedule, so you still have plenty of time to come see this fantastic window display (thanks to 57th Street Books for the thematic selection of books and surprises) in person. We’ll be sharing more documentation soon, but please enjoy these images in the meantime.

Installing “Cables” at RoscoeBooks

~ Partial Press ~ 1 Comment

Here are a few images from this morning’s installation at RoscoeBooks (including Carley entering the ultra-top-secret password into our display).

We carefully gaffed our extension cord over the bookcases, which took longer than it should have because we kept getting distracted by all the books in front of us. If you like literature, then you’ll definitely want to stop by and browse for yourself!

We’ll be sharing more photos of the Caroline S. Knickmeier’s poem, Cables, soon, so check back.

Cancer Baby Girl at Night

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

We were lucky to do our install on a cloudy morning and snag a few good photos, but we went back tonight to record our video of Ruby Figueroa’s piece, Cancer Baby Girl.

Here are a couple more images. Don’t miss your chance to visit the installation in person to read the whole poem and get the full experience!

Not pictured: the many people who stopped to pose in front of the camera as we recorded the video. Stay tuned for a blooper reel?
