Stephanie Barber & Ian Phillips Opening Saturday the 8th of November 5PM – 9PM Stephanie Barber will debut her idea vending machine, from which visitors can purchase original ideas for the reasonable price of 50 cents each. In addition to this she will show one single painting and an astroturf carpet poem. Ian Phillips will make available select titles from his press Pas de Chance. Along with his books will be large full colour transfer prints from some of the books, and smaller full colour transfer prints of artwork from an upcoming book. He will also show his plaster of Paris sculptures, pillows, and SCRAPBOOK, which visitors can help make by cutting stuff out of magazines and gluing into the book, or they can draw, scribble, glue colourful autumn leaves, write in the book … At the end of the show, Phillips will take the result and create a virtual SCRAPBOOK on the internet so that people can see how it turned out.
