'Ira Cohen: Into the Mylar Chamber' book launch at Artbook @ MoMA PS1 Bookstore

Between 1968 and 1971, in a loft on New York’s Jefferson Street, the poet, photographer and filmmaker Ira Cohen created some of the most mythic images of the late 1960s.

On Sunday, November 10, from 2–5 PM, to mark the publication of Into the Mylar Chamber, the first monograph devoted to Cohen’s work, limited numbered and signed bookplate copies will be on sale. Fulgur Press invites you to an afternoon of celebration, including live performances from musicians who worked with Cohen, Sylvie Degiez, Wayne Lopes and Michael James Hashim, readings of his poetry, an appearance by Alice Farley, recitals and images drawn from the book and the recorded voice of Cohen himself, reaching out from the past.

Pre-order signed bookplate copies of Into the Mylar Chamber with free shipping in the continental US at booksmomaps1@artbook.com. The event, presented by Artbook @ MoMA Bookstore in the MoMA PS1 Book Space, is free and open to the public.
