FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 11, 2012 -- Susan Hensel Gallery, 3441 Cedar Ave S,Minneapolis, MN, will take a break from retirement for the annual book extravaganza, Reader’s Art 12: Longing for Home , Friday March 16 with a reception and celebration for the artists from 7-10pm.

This long running show is a national/international survey show of artists books originated by Ms. Hensel when she lived in East Lansing, Michigan. Now in its twelfth consecutive year, forty two artists form the US, Canada and France responded to the call for artists books that considered the following questions:

What does home mean to you?
Is home a place, a building, a feeling, a belief system,a family, a way of being in the world?
What do you long for?
Not surprisingly, in these transitional times, many artists dwelt in nostalgia for a past time that may or may not have been their own. There are also political pieces dealing with immigration, and environmental destruction of the planet. There are pieces that deal with the body as the ultimate home, with identity. There are beautiful, ethereal books; crudely natural books; creepy books; humorous books; elegant books.
