When's the last time you said "rad"?

An update on the materialization of our Invisible Library:

There are certain galleries in London that almost always seem to be doing something interesting. Tenderpixel is very much one of these: their best shows display an ability to combine attractive aesthetics with something conceptually intriguing - a pretty rare feat in this old town.

Invisible Library is no different, and in fact looks like being one of Tenderpixel's best shows to date. The brilliant INK Illustration are constructing a library full of books that have hitherto only been mentioned in novels. They've given them cool cover designs and transformed the gallery into a rad little book shop - which works pretty well amongst all the antiquarian oddities on Cecil Court.

More on the Invisible Library in London

As reported earlier, the Invisible Library has inspired an exhibition and workshop by Ink Illustration, the UK art collective:

Once selected the hidden novels will have their covers illustrated by INK. The Invisible Library will ask best selling writers, cultural and musical figures, and gallery attendees to write the opening or closing page of a ‘hidden novel.’

Each book cover is not only the beginning of a story, but also a personal journey and porthole into the imagination.

Here are the invites, here are some behind-the-scenes glimpses, and scenes from the private view, during which visitors were invited to write the beginning or end of one of these imaginary (yet now illustrated) books.

The exhibit runs through July 12 in London. Londoners, please visit!
