ABRAHAM CRUZVILLEGAS: HI, HOW ARE YOU, GONZO? EXHIBITION ACTIVATION: BOOK SWAP

ABRAHAM CRUZVILLEGAS: HI, HOW ARE YOU, GONZO? EXHIBITION ACTIVATION: BOOK SWAP

Presented by The Contemporary Austin at The Contemporary Austin - Jones Center

Abraham Cruzvillegas embraces the concept of autoconstrucción—loosely defined as “self-constructing”—in a vibrant artistic practice imbued with a sense of constant becoming, a curiosity to learn and share information.

Love reading but crushed under the weight of all your books? Bring a book or two or three to share at the museum, where for one week Abraham Cruzvillegas’s exhibition will become an expanding library of exchanged books. Pass along a favorite novel or art book, let go of that taunting tome you still haven’t read, cross lanes into a genre you rarely pick up, or share your zine or self-published work. All types of books in fair condition are welcome.

This book exchange will also benefit incarcerated readers, so bring an extra book donation for Inside Books Project — an Austin-based community service volunteer organization that sends free books and educational materials to prisoners in Texas. Please see donation requests from inmates and book restrictions here.
