BETTINA HUBBY: THANKS FOR THE MAMMARIES

SUNDAY, JULY 10th FROM 4:00 - 6:00 PM
WITH SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST JANET KLEIN,
AND FEATURING CUPCAKES, WINE, AND MORE!
 

Please join us, Klowden Mann, and LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) on Sunday, July 10th, 2016 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of Bettina Hubby’s Thanks for the Mammaries. This artist's book, published by LAND with support from Klowden Mann, documents the various iterations of Hubby’s ongoing project Thanks for the Mammaries, the Facebook feed which was originally installed at the LAND HQ from October through November of 2015.
 
In 2014, Hubby announced her Breast Cancer diagnosis on Facebook and asked her friends and community to submit “boob-related imagery.” People showered Hubby with images, videos, and verbiage that helped her heal, and inspired her to pay it forward. Touched by the uplifting effect of this communal support, Hubby sent out a call to artists to submit works for an exhibition. The exhibitions and online Facebook feed displayed the outpouring of support that resulted from Hubby’s call to action; selections of which are documented in the publication. “What continues to bring me the most satisfaction is the feedback regarding my approach, in that it has been positively impacting and inspiring people who have (and even many who have not) faced illness in their lives, or in their loved ones’ lives. This is why I wanted to release this as a book to a wider audience. This book is dedicated to the medicinal power of boobishness”.
 
In addition, the artist’s new limited multiple, B(*)(*)B DOOB, produced by Klowden Mann, will also be unveiled at the event. The serial edition consists of eight Hubby-centric self-portrait figurines created using DOOB-3D printing technology. The first in the series will be a portrait of Hubby that directly relates to Thanks for the Mammaries. These figures will be published quarterly, and offered by subscription individually.

If you cannot attend but wish to purchase a signed copy of Thanks for the Mammaries please place your online order here by noon on Sunday or call us at 310-458-1499.
