New in the shop: 5×7 Books

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

Leo Burnett Design Director & Post Family member Alex Fuller no doubt has enough on his plate day to day, but on the side he also runs 5×7 Books, a line of small-run art publications. These delicate little books present quiet ideas in beautiful little packages, cleverly printed and assembled together. It’s the kind of object that speaks delicately at first but after a glance or two a deeper concept emerges, imprinting itself into your brain.

Ina Weise’s From Here to There is a 4-panel fold-out piece on French Newsprint and it is inspired by traveling, people, and the connections Ina’s made in her journeys.

A Painting in 31 Marks documents the decision-making process that goes into abstract painting. Two people, two colors, one painting. Artwork by Chicago screenprinting-artist duo Sonnenzimmer.

Both books are available at the shop now!

Tereasa Surratt, the most inspiring and energetic whirlwind of a woman I have ever known, debuts her latest creation. FOUND FREE AND FLEA.  A visual feast of coveted collections to inspire and entice. We are so proud to be hosting her launch party here at Post 27 tomorrow night, where you will be able to pick up a copy and have a cocktail.  We hope that you can swing by – you won’t be able to miss it as you drive down Grand Ave, as a collection of vintage cars and trucks will be parked out front! See you tomorrow – no need to rsvp, we are going to be packed anyway!
