Guy Mendes – 40/40 Book Announced

Institute 193 is announcing a public collaboration with Carly Goes To Space and Guy Mendes to publish 40/40 – Forty Years, Forty Portraits. The book – still in its preliminary design stage – will feature portraits taken by Mendes over the last forty years and passages written by Mendes explaining his relationship to the various characters. Among the photographed are: Ashley Judd, Wendell Berry, Ben Sollee, Lil’ Enis, Sister Gertrude Morgan, etc… The book is scheduled to be released late this fall. Stay tuned for more details. The project will be primarily funded through KICKSTARTER, and we will be sending out updates periodically. We are posting working images of the book’s cover and layout. Let us know what you think.

The book will be accompanied by an exhibition at Institute 193 produced in conjunction with the Ann Tower Gallery.
