BOOK & WHEEL

Book and Wheel employs various strategies- mobile cultural platforms (buses, carts) with tours and live events, participatory maps, games, public murals and a growing regional print portfolio. Their most recent project, Chispa, is an art cart the size of a parade float, which debuted at the Visitation Valley Greenway and appeared again at the 2019 Chispa Autumn Moon Celebration in McLaren Park, both in San Francisco. Their pandemic swivel project, We Trade continues the Chispa art trade practice, offering contact-free art trading to promote cultural production during shelter-in-place and into the future... Book and Wheel has been supported by the Creative Work Fund, San Francisco Arts Commission, Southern Exposure/Alternative Exposure, Zellerbach Family Foundation, Fleishhacker Foundation and numerous local institutions. They were commissioned artists of the 2012 Havana Biennal. They've been in residence at Blue Mountain Center in New York and their work has appeared in Public Art..
