On August 23rd, 2008 from 7 to 9pm, Think Coffee at 1 Bleecker Street will host the release of the zine "Anywhere I Lay My Head". The zine recounts artist and writer Melissa Bastian's experiences with Hurricane Katrina and the ways in which she has rebuilt her life and dealt with the ramifications of the disaster. She will be present for the full extent of the event to answer questions and discuss the work, and will be doing a short reading at 8pm. Paintings and photographs of the New Orleans area that correlate with the context of the work will be on display from Tuesday the 19th through Saturday the 23rd. Also on display during the event will be letterpress prints, and personal items such as Ms. Bastian's scrap book of newspaper clippings and her photographs from the first visits back to the city. The release has been intentionally scheduled to fall just six days before the third anniversary of Katrina; the artist hopes to remind people of the storm and to bring attention to the fact that while enormous progress has been made, many people and parts of the city are still struggling. 25% of any revenue generated from zine or artwork sales will be donated to the Common Ground Collective in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
