Thematic summer shows are as de rigueur in the art world as summer reading lists were in high school — and now a new group exhibition combines the best of both. For Cover Version, some 20 artists are invited by curator Timothy Hull to reconsider the book jackets of their favorite tomes. Hull is a painter himself, based in New York, whose own work references both the written word and the act of writing itself in intricate, pattern-based paintings and drawings, and several of the participating artists fit well into the idiom. Frohawk Two Feathers also creates text-heavy work elaborately chronicling the histories of fictional nations, while fellow TDC Gallery-mate Ryan Callis favors attention-grabbing, graphic, composite imagery potentially ideal for creating a cover by which to judge a book.
