As we transition from the printed page to digital communication, our relationship to print changes as we enter the literary realm of binary code and multi-directional referencing and browsing. Once valued as a solitary activity requiring deep concentration, perusing written language is incrementally measured, and our attention fragmented. X Libris explores the book as a vulnerable, ephemeral, morphing form, in this time of accelerated transition to digital communication and “real-time.”\n\nArtists:\n \nAlexis Arnold\nLauren Bartone\nJulia Bradshaw\nLaura Chenault\nSarah Christianson\nChristine Elfman \nEmily Eiffler\nJulia Goodman\nMatt Gualco\nSamuel Levi Jones\nKate Jordahl with Don Drake\nPantea Karimi\nMichael Kerbow\nWendy Kramer\nSteven Vasquez Lopez\nKlea McKenna\nCamilla Newhagen\n\nYulia Pinkusevich with Glenna Cole Allee\nMaria Porges\nMegan Prelinger\nLeah Rosenberg\nBrian Taylor\nNanette Wylde\nJody Zellen \n \n \nSupport for MicroClimate Collective and the publication accompanying the exhibition X Libris is provided by Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant Program.\n\nROOT DIVISION\n3175 17th Street (between South Van Ness & Shotwell)\nSan Francisco, CA 94110\nwww.rootdivision.org\n 415.863.7668\n###\n\nABOUT ROOT DIVISION:\nRoot Division is an arts & arts education non-profit located in the Mission District of San Francisco.
