A New Chapter: Arion Press at Haines
This fall, Haines Gallery and Arion Press proudly present A New Chapter: Arion Press at Haines, a collaborative exhibition celebrating the press鈥� recent move to Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture.
Since 1974, Arion Press has partnered with contemporary visual artists to bring seminal texts to life. Collaborating with artists whose practices and concerns often dovetail with these written works, their publications offer fresh perspectives on literary texts ranging from Mary Shelley鈥檚 Frankenstein to Octavia Butler鈥檚 Kindred to Zora Neale Hurston鈥檚 Their Eyes Were Watching God. The exhibition at Haines showcases a selection of Arion Press鈥� handmade books alongside original artworks and limited edition prints by contributing artists such as Enrique Chagoya, Kenturah Davis, Michele Oka Doner, Natalie Frank, Tim Hawkinson, William Kentridge, Alison Saar, Vincent Valdez, Richard Wagener, and Kara Walker. Many of these will be on view for the first time, including works from Arion Press鈥� latest release, Fables of Aesop.
鈥淲e are thrilled to welcome Arion Press to Fort Mason, having long admired their publications and knowing how much they will add to the creative community here,鈥� notes Cheryl Haines, founder and principal of Haines Gallery. 鈥淭hrough this exhibition, we look forward to sharing their extraordinary work with new audiences.鈥�
