Step inside the Odditorium! 🎨 “Storytime with Mare: Artists’ Books from the Odditorium” is on view at BIMA through February 15. One of Mare Blocker’s (@mareblocker) favorite pieces, The Ultimate Self Help Book, has a special story…
“The Ultimate Self Help Book was the first book of mine that Cynthia (Sears) bought…It’s made from an old Operation game. I left a message on my answering machine asking, ‘If you could remove one thing from your brain that your mother said to you, what would it be?’…all kinds of people left me messages—friends, telemarketers, even my own mother.” — Mare Blocker ✨
Hear more personal stories and explore the “Storytime with Mare” exhibition with Blocker herself at her upcoming Meet the Artist events on December 6th and December 13th from 1-3 pm. No ticket required!
