Matt Timmons would like to invite you to the Insert Blanc Press Benefit & Holiday Party at Weekend Gallery, 4634 Hollywood Blvd, LA, CA 90027 on Saturday December 17 from 6-12pm.
All donations will help cover expenses for Insert Blanc Press
future and current projects and operations). Additionally, throughout
the month of December Insert Blanc Press will run various tempting
discounts on the whole catalog of books, all of which will also be
available at the Holiday Party—many authors will be on-hand to sign
copies of their books.
Artists & Writers performing at the Insert Press Benefit &
Holiday Party include: Harold Abramowitz, Brian Ang, Allison Carter,
Brian Joseph Davis, Robin Dicker, Kate Durbin, K. Lorraine Graham,
Daniel Hockenson, Jen Hofer, Garrick Hogg, js makkos, Joseph Mosconi,

Insert Blanc Press has published and promoted the work of over 60
artists and writers since it's humble beginnings in 2005. The PARROT
series alone will publish the work of 23 writers over the course of its
run and features the design work of the brilliant printer Margaret
Lomeli. Blanc Press has recently published the enigmatic project (!x==[33]) Book 1 Volume 1 by .UNFO and has garnered attention by publishing the three volume series Tragodía by Vanessa Place.
Over the course of December Matt hopes to raise $5,000 for Insert Blanc Press in sales and donations to
fund printing and press operations in 2012. He hopes to raise $2000 of
the goal at the party on Saturday December 17. $2000 will go principally
to funding the printing of the remainder of the PARROT series, which,
if that goal is met, he hopes to have out by summer 2012. An additional
$1500 will go to moving all of Blanc Press' publications to a new
printer and distributor which will give us international distribution
and access to sites like Amazon and actually lower the price of the
books. Any additional money raised to meet our total goal of $5,000 will
go towards publishing new projects in 2012, including Bruna Mori's Poetry for Corporations, Kate Durbin's E! Entertainment Diamond Edition, Joseph Mosconi's GRRR ARRRGH as well as a forthcoming project by Christopher Russell and many other projects I just can't tell you about quite yet.

Currently on view at Weekend Gallery: Jay Erker - This Is So Much Better - Erker's work often manipulates subjects from readily available popular imagery which, in a simple and personal way, investigates the notion of identity in public space, hierarchies of dissemination, and the desire for meaning in contemporary life.
