Things - Edith Kollath Creates Books that Breathe from Bre Pettis on Vimeo.
As a child I had more books than friends, although having more than two books really isn't much of an accomplishment. Anywhoo, the point is that sometimes I still think I love books more than I love people. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Edith Kollath's show "Property and Evidence: The Whole Story" at Dam Stuhltrager (38 Marcy Ave, through Dec. 14). Kollath was detained at the Newark Airport (damn you New Jersey!) after The Man grew suspicious of her crazy breathing books. She even had to withdraw from an exhibition in Germany because officials held her artwork for more than four months.
But now it's all gravy because her freaky Harry Potter books are breathing just fine and we haven't died in a whimsical book-propelled Al Qaeda attack.
