View fullsize Julia Kunze, Blooket 2, 2025, 18 x 9 inches, ceramic In connection with the exhibition LAMP At MASS Gallery Hosted by Julia Kunze and Ariel Wood In partnership with Time Being Books Music by Elizabeth Hess Free and open to the public An evening of shared attention. Close Encounters: Read In invites visitors to gather with books and settle into reading as a collective, contemplative act. Like the exhibition itself, the event honors accumulation and care: the comfort of holding a familiar object, the curiosity enlivened by a pre-loved book, the subtle energy of being alone together. Visitors are invited to move freely between the gallery, the adjoining yard, and the resident used bookstore—bringing a beloved book from home or discovering one on site. A curated vinyl DJ set, sourced from the DJ’s personal record collection, will shape the atmosphere for reading, rest, and renewed attention.
MASS is an artist collective & non-profit art space in ATX 💥 Open Saturdays 12-5. 705 Gunter St, Austin TX.
