Book Bombs

Picture
Book Bombs is a collaboration with Michelle Wilson, featuring a series of prints on paper made from invasive plants harvested from empty urban lots, and a zine, installed in public spaces in Philadelphia in early 2010. More on the project at http://bookbombing.blogspot.com.

The Welcome House

Picture
The Welcome House was conceived by Marianne Bernstein. A 10' x 10' cube housed day long artist residencies in Philadelphia's Love Park in October 2009. Mary Tasillo and Michelle Wilson transformed the cube into the Book Bombs Shelter. Passersby were invited to make handmade paper pieces about home, Love Park, and security using pulp sprayed through silkscreen stencils, and to add their wet paper art to an installation on the walls of the cube. The project was presented by First Person Arts, designed by Interface Studio Architects, and included nighttime video projection by Ricardo Rivera of klip collective and other artists. www.thewelcomehouse.net
