Kipp Howard: Braun Books

The idea was to make the exhibition feel like we had turned a book store into an art space, not that we put a bunch of art in a book store. It takes a special kind of book store owner to allow that. But Tyler is that kind of a guy. The Rogue Gallery and Bran books sponsored Kipp Howard's art exhibition, and sever hours later Rogue Gallery and Tyler Braun made an exhibition space. The great challenge was the lack of wall space. The store was skillfully choked with books, so we ended up hanging art from the ceiling from fishing line, and converting a storage space into a second gallery. Only three pieces made it onto a wall, the remaining pieces rested on easels, hanging from ceilings or leaning against books.
