The upcoming exhibition will feature artist Sheila Cunningham. Cunningham is a photographer living and working in Dallas, Texas. She is interested in drawing attention to the environment and the way that knowledge is transmitted in a world of constantly changing technological advancements. This exploration of the decline of books, renewed interest in plants and the nurturing connection between them that offers “food” to the mind and body converge in the photographs of the planted books. The Mercantile Coffee House exhibition will feature seven of these photographic images.
The opening reception for the exhibition will be on December 11, 2010 from 5:30pm to 7pm. The exhibition will run through January 8, 2011.
