THE ICE PLANT 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY + BOOK SIGNINGS!

JOIN US SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12th, 5:00 - 7:00 PM FOR
THE ICE PLANT 10th ANNIVERSARY PARTY!
FEATURING BOOK SIGNINGS FOR
ED PANAR: ANIMALS THAT SAW ME - VOLUME TWO
MIKE SLACK: WALKING IN PLACE 1 - NEW ORLEANS

 

The Ice Plant began producing artist books in 2006, and has been publishing significant illustrated and photography books and other fine printed matter for the following decade. The dynamic duo behind the press - Tricia Gabriel and Mike Slack - would like to thank all their artists and loyal customers for making these ten years possible!

Come November 12th The Ice Plant will be celebrating their 10th Anniversary with the launch of two fantastic new books:

 

ED PANAR: Animals That Saw Me: Volume Two - The sequel - at last! Pairing a selection of new work and newly discovered gems from Ed Panar's vast archive with an original essay on “being seen” by philosopher Timothy Morton, this volume digs deeper into the question: "Why do we assume that it's only us who does the looking?"

 


MIKE SLACK: Walking in Place 1: New Orleans - Co-published in an edition of six hundred copies with Perimeter Editions, Melbourne, this is the first in Mike Slack's new series of standalone volumes; each a pocket-sized ‘ambient travelogue’ of a particular geographic (or ‘psychogeographic’) location. This installment intermingles local fauna, architectural details, curious street cats, and urban ephemera, all skewed toward the sublime in the peculiar sunlight of New Orleans.

Please join us as we celebrate these new releases and The Ice Plant's auspicious 10th Anniversary with special appearances by many of their authors and artists including Ron Jude, Bettina Hubby, Michael Schmelling, Seth Lower, Antoine Wilson, and Melissa Catanese. In addition, there will be a retrospective display of imprint's oeuvre, a unique all-star publication produced exclusively for the event to be offered free  - one to a customer - with any Ice Plant purchase, ice sculpture, flowing Margaritas (Mike's own mix), and the accordion stylings of Arcana's Erin Schneider!

If you cannot attend but wish to purchase a signed copy of either book - or both! - place your online order here, or call us at 310-458-1499.
