BOOK BERM at Texas Discovery Gardens


The Book Berm is a collaborative installation, created by artists, VET and Sheila Cunningham,  that will open September 24, 2011 at the Texas Discovery Gardens, Fair Park, Dallas, TX. On display through October 31, 2011
 
 
 
 
 
Artists will create a berm of partially covered books, newspaper and computer devices to show our cultural transition from the written word to electronic media.

Installation begins Friday, September 9, 2011!
