Hydrologies - Zines & Snow Stenciling in the Twin Cities

It was a busy weekend in Minneapolis for Book Bombs activities. After the opening of Urban/Urbane at Susan Hensel Gallery, there were still zines to be folded down:


Thanks to Micah Ludeke and Rachel Wandrei for folding help (and to Micah for the amazing chocolate chip cookie fuel).

Reader's Art Opening

Book Bombs had a blast as part of the Reader's Art 11 show at Susan Hensel Gallery on Friday night. Thanks to everyone who came out to chat about the project and about water, in conjunction with Book Bombs Zine #4: Hydrologies. Mary folded down zines on site and passed them along to visitors, who were invited to take the zines home and love them, pass them along to someone else, and/or leave them someplace for another person to find. Please contact us with any photos of the zines on site, and keep an eye out here in the coming days to see documentation of the Book Bombing of Minneapolis.


Note photo documentation of prior Book Bombs projects in the background, and thanks to Suzanne Fischer for taking and sharing these photos of the opening!
