Collections of Nothing by William Davies King

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

3:00 to 4:45 p.m.

Free with Membership or Museum Admission

Pop into our monthly book discussion as we read and discuss books that relate to artwork in our galleries. Moderated by a member of the Museum's staff or a volunteer, we look forward to exchanging ideas and learning about books, art and each other! We meet in the Museum's Library and venture out into the galleries as well. Bring your copy of the book; each book will be available for purchase through the Museum Shop as well as area bookstores. Suggestions for future books are most welcome! Contact Nancy Sokolove, Adult Programs Manager, at 828.253.3227, ext. 120 or nsokolove@ashevilleart.org to register, for more information or with book suggestions.

Collections of Nothing, William Davies King

King is a theater professor who, over 50 years, has gathered a vast collection of things nobody else wants: cat-food labels, chain letters, cereal boxes, chopstick wrappers and more. A fascinating look at collections and obsessions.
