This Saturday at the Gallery!
David Horvitz
Curated by Katie Hood Morgan
August 6 - September 3, 2011
Opening reception August 6, 7-10pm
Adobe Books Backroom Gallery is pleased to present David Horvitz' first solo exhibition in the Bay Area. Exhibited will be photographs and text that expand on the main ideas of several projects from the last two years. One of these, a project Horvitz first created for a gallery in Den Haag, Holland, has been restaged for the Backroom Gallery. For the original project, Untitled (Flowers), Horvitz spent the day travelling the subway system in Holland gathering flowers from the different flower vendors he encountered. Says the artist, "There was something about a distributed element across the country that was then slowly recollected. Reconcentrated." For the Backroom Gallery, Horvitz purchased red roses from vendors while travelling by car from Oakland to the Mission District of San Francisco, where the gallery is located. The resulting bouquet will be exhibited in the gallery space as a souvenir of his journey across the Bay.
Brooklyn-based David Horvitz's diverse projects utilize the internet (blogs, Twitter, email) and the postal system as tools of connection and expansion. For Public Access, a multi-level project that began in January of this year, and first exhibited at SF Camerawork, he travelled North along the West Coast, photographically documenting his presence at beaches from Mexico to Oregon and posting the images on the locations' corresponding Wikipedia pages. Also on display in the gallery is the work Untitled (Twins), 2011. The artist framed seven pairs of photographs taken of the ocean during the Public Access project. Over the course of the exhibition, one photograph from each pair will be gifted to nearby businesses and other locations, effectively expanding the exhibition to include the community surrounding Adobe Books. In his practice, Horvitz reaches out to the electronic community and far-flung geographical communities as well to build relationships both lasting and fleeting.

David Horvitz was born in 1982 in Los Angeles. He now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He received his undergraduate degree from UC Riverside and his MFA from Bard College. He has exhibited in Europe and America, published books with 2nd Cannons Publications and Mark Batty Publisher, and organizes and curates collaborative projects with many other artists.

Opening reception: Friday, June 3rd, 7-10 pm
Featuring the work of Alberto Cuadros, Jamie Daughters, Phil Elverum, Laura Flippen, Barrett Gent, and Kanoa Zimmerman
The Invisible Method examines various entry points into the the ways we think about framing and defining our world. The participating artists consider the natural world in its developed and undeveloped states and how we choose to engage with it. In this collection of large scale photographs, images serve to illustrate the various ways in which we interact with a framed nature in our contemporary world of continued development and sprawl.

Man-o-Man-o-Man: Photographs by Raphael Villet
Exhibition reception and zine release
Saturday, May 28th, 7-10pm
Adobe Books Backroom Gallery presents a one-night only exhibition of photographs to celebrate the release of Raphael Villet's zine "Man-o-Man-o-Man." Published by Hamburger Eyes, the new photography zine looks into how men create, survive, and reject constructed definitions of their gendered identities. The project compiles photographs taken in clubs, parks, buses, and dives during Villet's travels around Europe and the US, including San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Lyon, and Rome. Raphael seeks to explore the different representations of being a man around the world and the different ways in which men express, reject or struggle with their identities. Ultimately the photos are self-reflective: Raphael seeks to log his insecurities through documenting others.
The reception will feature musical sets by the bands Meat Market and Indian Giver, from Santa Cruz, CA.
Raphael Villet is a film photographer from San Francisco. Born in Melbourne, Australia he moved around Africa before settling in SF in 1998. He recently received a BA in Sociology at UC Santa Cruz and his photography has been featured in Romka Magazine, fecalface.com, and in several group shows. He has interned at the Sesnon Gallery at UC Santa Cruz as well as the Harvey Milk Photo Center in San Francisco which everyone should be a member of! This is his first solo exhibition.
Hamburger Eyes Photo Magazine is based in San Francisco and published bi-annually. Hamburger Eyes is off-set printed in black and white on glossy stock, perfect bound with a cardstock cover, holding 150 pages at a run of 3000 copies. Hamburger Eyes is carried in shops, stores, libraries, galleries, and museums across the entire planet. www.hamburgereyes.com

From the Golden West Notebook + The Final George Spelvin Show
From the Golden West Notebook
Poems by Jason Morris
Illustrations by Jason Grabowski and Jesse Schlesinger
Published by Publication Studio Berkeley, Allone Co. Editions
Exhibition curated by Katie Hood Morgan and Colter Jacobsen
Adobe Books Backroom Gallery
April 29 - May 25, 2011
Book release and reception Friday, April 29th, 7-10pm
Arrive early for a reading with Jason Morris and Russell Dillon at 7pm
Adobe Books is pleased to present an exhibition to accompany the release of the latest publication from Berkeley-based Allone Co. Editions. Inspired by the ACE Double books of the fifties, in which genre novels (especially Westerns and Science Fiction) were paired, From the Golden West Notebook brings together Jason Morris’ poetry and the first section of Thoreau's Walden, the chapter on “Economy.” Jason Morris’ serial poem (also called “From the Golden West Notebook”) follows a character named “I” through a hallucinogenic western landscape populated by the ghosts of Melville, Spicer, Thoreau, and the distressed magnetic reels of Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes.
Thoreau’s account begins on July 4th, 1845, when he moved into the cabin he built. In the “Economy” section, he details the building of the cabin and lists his costs. From the Golden West Notebook is bound so the two writings mirror one another, tête-bêche (head to toe), and features the artwork of Jason Grabowski and Jesse Schlessinger.
The exhibition will feature artworks related to the publication as well as a small reading room with relevant texts chosen by the artists and writers and friends of the gallery.
Allone Co. Editions is Colter Jacobsen's Publication Studio Berkeley imprint. Publication Studio is an online, print-on-desire publishing outfit that was started in Portland, Oregon, and has spread north to Vancouver and south to Los Angeles, and elsewhere. More info: www.publicationstudio.biz.

Also, don't miss the final evening in our performance series, The George Spelvin Show, organized by Rod Roland and David Kasprzak. Part II will take place Saturday, April 30th, at 7pm.
George Spelvin is the traditional pseudonym used in programs in American theatre. The reasons for the use of an alternate name vary. Actors who do not want to be credited, or whose names would otherwise appear twice because they are playing more than one role in a production, may adopt a pseudonym.
The George Spelvin Show gives artists the space to create a dual role, act outside of traditional mediums, and experiment with a new name.

Stacked/multiplied follows The 770 Show as the second phase of a two-part series and curatorial endeavor that builds its concept from Adobe Books as a potential site of artistic production and exploration. A group of emerging and established artists were invited to develop new work based within Adobe's categorical arrangement, and develop a dialog surrounding the relative qualities between art multiples and book publishing. The main interest of the project lies in the accretive collection of second-hand books at Adobe that have become a record, if not an archive, of our contemporary, entropic experience of information. The proliferation of books en masse, and the dialectical tension of order and disorder are both intended as framework for the exhibition.
At the outset of the project, the exhibition curators, Devon Bella and Katie Hood Morgan, mapped the store according to all of the labeled sections, including arrangements such as 'Self-Help', 'Science Fiction', 'Architecture'. The objective was for each artist to choose a section (or sometimes more than one) for reinterpretation, whether it was a single title in the stacks or all of the subject contents in visual and/or physical forms of a multiple, grouping, or small collection of artworks. With such work in mind, a specially-designed shelving system, created by artist Winston Morris, was built for the gallery to house the pieces, where they may, or may not appear in their original groupings. The intent of this system was to further the premise of exploration into the gallery, where the installation of the works and the curatorial process could raise questions around arrangement and contextual conditions of display.

Press for The 770 Show
"In an exhibition predicated upon the dance between the reign of categorization and the profusion of clutter, it might be just as instructive for the viewer to check out the show and then dive head first into Adobe's labyrinthine stacks. Wonder, after all, is a child of chaos. If nothing else, “The 770 Show” suggests an untamed world, ripe for the wrangling." - from Picture Books by Brady Welch in ArtSlant. Read the full article here
Tuesday, January 4, 2011
Opening reception: Thursday, January 13, 2011, 6-9pm
Adobe Books Backroom Gallery is pleased to announce its 2011 inaugural exhibition, guest curated by Arden Sherman. The 770 Show is the first in a two-part series dealing with the site of the bookshop itself — as inspiration, illumination, and artistic material.
For the first installment of the series, The 770 Show, seven artists were invited to spend time in the bookshop stacks, discovering the wealth of ideas that present themselves when organization does not follow tradition. From the huge quantity of subject matter on hand at Adobe, each artist selected a singular image found in a book and responded to this image through photography. Both the book image and the photograph are on display in the Backroom Gallery.
In his short story "The Library of Babel," Argentine author (and librarian) Jorge Luis Borges wrote that if one looks at the repetition of disorder long enough, what was originally perceived as chaos eventually becomes the order of things. 770 is the number for Photography and Photographs within the Dewey Decimal System, the system of classification used in most libraries. At Adobe Books, the organizational system is loose at best, and sections often blend and overlap. The Adobe system, akin to that of The Warburg Institute or the San Francisco-based Prelinger Library, is predicated on the notion that the significance of every book depends on its context within the library and its neighborhood on the shelf—a notable departure from the system of John Dewey.
The artists in The 770 Show take up the complicated idea of order and organization through the simple act of selection and interpretation. Their response through photography further contest traditional ideas of order since the medium of photography is, by definition, temporal and variant. The 770 Show encourages exploration in the bookshop stacks and allows the visitor to make connections among the varied subjects and, like the exhibition artists, encounter unexpected treasures.
Artists in the exhibition include Eric William Carroll, Sarah Hotchkiss, Sean McFarland, Paul Schiek, Parker Tilghman, Suné Woods, and Kelli Yon. Exhibition dates are from January 13 - February 13, 2011.

City Reader is a publication for the pedestrian intending to expand the frame we live within, and to focus on the scale of the neighborhood. City Reader: threnody for a lost landscape a video by Justin Carl Hurty was produced during the Reading Conventions residency in the Adobe Books Parlor.
Carrie Hott's exhibition featured on the Artslant Picklist
"The exhibition warrants unexpected discoveries and encourages one to spend time wandering and observing throughout the store in a way that such time and patience can be obliterated with current technologies. Hott’s work echoes that of its surrounding: an independent bookstore, loosely organized and stacked high with things (good old-fashioned, tangible, musty books) to discover." – From a Sub-Sub by Kara Q. Smith

Closing Event: Whale Watch
Saturday, November 6, 6-9pm
In the Adobe Books Parlor, the installation Whale Watch refers to the human inclination towards whale watching, and watching in general, which often elicits patience, reverence, and a sharp attentiveness, in order to allow for discovery. Within this clear objective, however, is the act of open-ended observation. As a visual and participatory project, Whale Watch is meant to echo the act of searching and orienting present in the process of Understanding A Whale Fall by concentrating on the act of observing, through both representations and visitor contributions in logbooks in the store. By bringing a focus onto the surrounding neighborhood and store visitors, Whale Watch weaves aspects of the current environment and local history with the broader investigations conveyed in the backroom.
For the closing of the exhibition, you’re invited to actively watch in the surrounding neighborhood of Adobe Books. Carrie Hott will lead participants on a short walk through the Mission along a route of historical landmarks and sites of interest. Participants are invited to fill in the gaps with their own knowledge, stories, and histories to the walk as it goes, alternating their experience as guide and observer.
Following the walk will be a reading about whales and whaling at Adobe Books. In addition to original pieces read by Carrie Hott, Kevin P. Clarke, and Christine Choi, Invisible City Audio Tour authors from their upcoming tour, The Armada of Golden Dreams, will preview their pieces. Armada readers will include Amanda Davidson, Jennifer Hasegawa, Jason Bucholz, and Dave Seter. Logbook contributors are invited to read their pieces as well.

Understanding a Whale Fall/Whale Watch
Understanding A Whale Fall/Whale Watch by Carrie Hott
Exhibition dates: September 30-November 6, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, Sep. 30, 7-9pm
Closing event: Saturday, November 6, 6-9pm
Understanding A Whale Fall/Whale Watch is a store wide exhibition at Adobe Books by Carrie Hott that represents a process of inquiry, primarily into whales, with occasional tangents taken to related topics and site specific investigations. Through the representation of research and its methods, Hott makes visible the action searching and being guided by curiosity in order to orient and understand. In the back room, Understanding A Whale Fall represents an interior space that is the site for a personal ongoing investigation into whales and their history. Whale Watch, in the windows of the Adobe Books Parlor, is a two-part installation and participatory project that broadens the scope of the backroom investigation and brings an additional focus onto the surrounding city and its history. The storewide exhibition nods to the communal atmosphere of Adobe Books, which draws inquisition and reflection in various forms, by visualizing the process of searching and inviting visitor contributions in the form of log recordings throughout the store.
Understanding a Whale Fall
Whale Fall is the term used for a whale carcass that sinks to the ocean floor after its death. The phenomenon occurs when a whale dies in deep water, and its remains becomes the subsistence for bottom dwelling sea creatures for up to a century. That whales extend their impact and vitality beyond death for a period of up to 100 years, and provide for the most basic organisms in the ocean, is a cyclical concept that is large in scope and profound in generosity.
Understanding a Whale Fall grew not only out of Hott's own ongoing interest and effort to grasp and understand whales and phenomenon such as this, but also a curiosity about a complex human history in which whales are featured prominently. As sources of myth, folklore, food, tools, light, energy, money, and fascination, whales have as much of a presence in the physical world as they often do in human imagination as heroic, mysterious, and intelligent animals.
Through the installation of Understanding A Whale Fall, this action of study, as well as Hott's curiosity about the motivation to do so, was translated into a visual representation of a private, engaged, and personally motivated inquiry. The installation is meant to be specific in topic, but generally represent common tools used for human research and contemplation, such as a study room, a desk, a mirror, notebooks, and various office supplies. Through unremarkable objects, the artist intends to call attention to the study and the objects as tools for discovering and orienting oneself in both time and place. Many elements of the installation are existing found objects that are covered and masked in various materials and are painted over in order to become representations of themselves. This process is completed with the intention of creating a scene that acts as a theatrical set; objects are existing and three-dimensional but are also props and stand-ins for the entity that they represent.
On Whale Watch
The first commercial whale-watching trip was launched in 1955 in San Diego, California. Passengers were charged $1 each for a chance to board the boat in the hopes of having an experience that would narrow the gap between reality and their imagination. In the Adobe Books Parlor, Whale Watch refers to the human inclination towards whale watching, and watching in general, which often elicits patience, reverence, and a sharp attentiveness, in order to allow for discovery. Within this clear objective, however, is the act of open-ended observation. As a visual and participatory project, Whale Watch is meant to echo the act of searching and orienting present in the process of Understanding A Whale Fall by concentrating on the act of observing. By bringing a focus onto the surrounding neighborhood, Whale Watch weaves aspects of the current environment and local history with the broader investigations conveyed in the backroom. Tools that aid seeing, looking, and orienting are represented in order to act as guides for visitors to the immediate geographical area, as well as the time in which they are situated. Visitors are invited to look outside the store, as well as within it, while having a heightened awareness of the devices and tools that enable us to do so.
Charles Scammon, 19th century whaler turned naturalist from San Francisco, made some of the first recorded observations of marine mammals, which were initially motivated by commercial interest, but later driven by an effort to save gray whales from extinction. His recordings were published in 1874 and made into a book, Marine Mammals of the Northwestern Coast of North America, which was the first book of its kind and at the time, revealed what was once unknown about sea mammals. Whale watchers, and observers in general, consistently log sightings and observations in order to remember, recognize patterns, and make a record for those who follow. Their record of what was observed acts as a guide for subsequent watchers, studiers, and observers. In the installation Whale Watch, visitors are invited to account for their own experience and expertise in the form of records- their historical knowledge, personal narratives, book passages, advice, recommendations, recipes, hikes, etc in logbooks located in the bookstore shelves. Through a 'wanted' sign on displayed in the front window, this participation is invited from observers, watchers, and researchers of all kinds.
Closing/Whale Watch
The exhibition will conclude with a closing whale watch event that will begin with a casual walk, or land 'whale watch', in the area surrounding Adobe Books. Following the walk, a reading will take place in the store in collaboration with Invisible City Audio Tours, a Bay Area project that aims to provide alternative ways to experience urban landscapes. Among other readers TBA, the artist Carrie Hott will read, in addition to author L.J. Moore, who will read a new piece written specifically for the exhibition, and visitors can volunteer to read their log entries or other pieces. **Closing event on Saturday, November 6, 7-9pm.
