Phoenix Public Library Exhibits "WORD" Jan. 26 - March 26 Subscribe to the Phoenix Public Library Press Release RSS Feed
Phoenix Public Library, Phoenix, AZ. -- January 19, 2012 -- Burton Barr Central Library will host an exhibit of photographs by Betsy BretHarte and Mary Kay Zeeb, titled "WORD," Jan. 26 - March 26 at the library's @Central Gallery, 1221 N. Central Ave.

BretHarte and Zeeb began this collaborative project in 2009 by photographing family and friends, each verbally spelling the word "love," one letter at a time, four frames per person. As the project unfolded, their community of "spellers" grew, involving surprise guests, people on the streets of downtown Phoenix, and strands of neighbors at yard sales they happened upon while bike riding. The ongoing series now includes more than 200 photographs, 156 of which will be on display. (Click here for high resolution images.)
