3 More Days to See “Packrats” by Lisa Torem

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

Sadly, we will be removing our current installation in the evening of this Thursday, the 24th.

That means you still have three days to view our current work, Packrats, by Chicago author and journalist Lisa Torem. Take advantage of this swell fall weather and get out to Lincoln Square while you still can!

Fortunately, Laurie’s Planet of Sound won’t be going anywhere, so even after Thursday you’ll be able to get new and used vinyl, books, movies and more. Our installation is just a few steps from the Brown Line stop at Western and there’s plenty of parking nearby. Don’t miss it!

Photographing “Packrats”

We had a blast documenting Lisa Torem’s poem, Packrats, at Laurie’s Planet of Sound. With the sounds of the German-American Fest in the background, we basked in the combined glow of neon and LED and shot video and photos from the bustling sidewalk. The lively scene and curious onlookers confirmed our belief that Literature Emitting Diodes really can bring good writing to an appreciative public in an unexpected way.

August’s Installation at The Armadillo’s Pillow

~ Partial Press ~ Leave a comment

Our August publication, I am solar by Chicago writer Eric Shoemaker, is up and running at The Armadillo’s Pillow. Shoemaker suggested that his piece reside somewhere in Rogers Park, and we were elated when one of our favorite bookstores agreed to host our LED display. The Armadillo’s Pillow always features excellent window displays, so we are especially proud to be included.

You can come by and read I am solar anytime, but if you want to browse through a great selection of used and uncommon books, as well as art, jewelry, and even coffee (!) then you should stop in during store hours:
Sun-Fri: 12:00-8:00PM
Sat: 10:00-8:00PM

The Armadillo’s Pillow is located just North of Loyola at:
6753 N Sheridan Rd.
Chicago, IL 60626
