Kicking off with an opening event on Saturday, Sept. 19, North Figueroa Bookshop\u00a0in Highland Park and Unnamed Press are presenting \u201cSlow Stories: Paintings by Bette A. and Brian Eno.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Featuring\u00a0hundreds of artworks lining the\u00a0walls of the bookstore, the exhibition includes 444 original signed and numbered paintings as well as listening stations to hear \u201c2 Slow Stories,\u201d which features Bette reading \u201cThe Endless House\u201d and \u201cThe Other Village\u201d and\u00a0ambient compositions by Eno (who, you\u2019ll remember, invented the genre with 1978\u2019s \u201cAmbient 1: Music for Airports\u201d).<\/p>\n

The duo, who previously collaborated on the book \u201cWhat Art Does,\u201d will not be in attendance at the opening. As for the work on sale, each $444 Complete Edition includes a signed and numbered painting; a limited edition white-vinyl pressing of \u201c2 Slow Stories\u201d and a hardcover edition of \u201cSlow Stories\u201d by Bette A.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a multimedia piece of collaborative art, centered around storytelling. Bette\u2019s stories are modern fables concerned with the most crucial of themes, and so we extend out from the text, to the record, to the canvas, jumping across media to hopefully connect further with audiences, and deepen the experience of storytelling,\u201d says Chris Heiser, publisher of Unnamed Press.<\/p>\n

The artist proceeds will go to the\u00a0Heroines! Movement<\/a> and EarthPercent<\/a>, both of which were co-founded by the artists. For more information or to RSVP to the opening event, go to the Unnamed Press website<\/a>. The exhibit will be on view through Oct. 25.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 9 p.m., Sept. 19 at North Figueroa Bookshop, 6040 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles<\/p>\n
