Bay Area artist-bibliophiles: come check out the SBCB’s 15th Anniversary Exhibition opening Thursday, September 15, 6-8pm. The show highlights some of the best work by the San Francisco Center for the Book’s instructors, students, and collaborating artists. I’m particu-larly proud of my Imprint crew’s complete set of SFCB Artist-in-Residence artist’s books on display along with my own 29 Degrees North edition which inaugurated the residency program six years back.

The exhibit runs through November 25 and admission is free. The SFCB is at 300 DeHaro Street (entrance on 16th Street) in San Francisco. 415-565-0545 | www.sfcb.org | imprint@sfcb.org

I’m currently working on a large wall installation for an upcoming group show titled “Keeping an Eye on Surveillance.” My piece, titled RGB-123, references airborne observation tech-nology as described in my Long View posts about remote sensing from outer space and McMurdo’s role in high-altitude scientific research.
