Katie Herzog in group exhibition at Circus of Books 3.15.16
ART MUST GO
An Exhibition, Sale, & Celebration of Circus of Books.
OPENING: Sunday, March 13, 2016 from 6—9PM
Circus of Books @ 8230 Santa Monica Blvd, W. Hollywood 90046
Since the early 1960s Circus of Books has been a veritable institution, and for over 30 years the stores in West Hollywood and Silverlake have been LA’s prime retailer of independent zines, smutty magazines and adult novelty and smoke accessories, as well as a place to cruise and buy whatever obscure product you might crave at 1 am.
But now the internet has brought changes that have impacted many business and particularly adult bookstores.
Before the stores shutter their doors, an exhibition is being mounted to celebrate this last great holdout of grit and counterculture.
Billy Miller, curator, and publisher of the long-running Straight to Hell erotic chapbook series, together with the owner’s daughter, artist Rachel Mason, are organizing an in-store art exhibition and a series of events showcasing the work of a growing roster of international artists, musicians, designers, and performers.
