YEARBOOK OF ARTS 2010
In order to enhance and give greater visibility to artists, the Alborques intends to publish several books with works from artists exhibited at the gallery.
The first literary projects supported by will be the publication of the Yearbook of the Arts 2010 and a book that will make the connection between painting and poetry (book of poems written by the artist André Gaglianone on several works on display at the site).
These projects will be performed through several phases, being the first to obtain information of the artists who are interested in participating in these 2 publications.
Among the artists who want to join these projects, we will choose those which have the highest quality, giving a prevalence to those that most contribute to the dissemination of the gallery by participating in the collective exhibitions that Alborques has organized and to the artists that most visits and comments made on pages of other artists.
We have not yet the information of the predicted price of the books, but we ensure that the project just will advance in the case that, unlike other similar publications, there is no cost or commitment to the artists to take into these projects, as standard in all that concerns Alborques.

Sep 05, 2010 CALL FOR SIGNS OF OUR TIMES An online study of signs,
especially as means of language or miscommunication. Have you ever
been walking, bicycling, driving, sitting in a bus or train and
suddenly seen a sign which made you do a double take? or seen a sign
whose meaning escaped you or initially gave you pause and then perhaps
you comprehended its meaning or didn't? or a sign which made no sense
at all? Or a sign that just made you laugh or cry hysterically for
some unfathomable reason? This call is about those
puzzling/surreal/emotionally evocative signs of our times. "Of our
times" is defined as either drawing from your own personal
experience/history or the collective's present, near past or imagined
future. For details and further information, please visit:

This is as much a social experiment as it is an art exhibition. Any medium may be used. All artists are welcome to participate. Have your work shown with artists from all over the world and be published in an Art House book!
    The final outcome is to document the project in two ways, including multiple exhibitions (at galleries in Brooklyn, NY and Seattle, WA) and in a book.

    Subject: The Sketchbook Project: Library
    Be one of the founding contributors to The Sketchbook Library by signing up to receive a sketchbook, filling it up with art, and sending it back. Sketchbooks offers a glimpse into an artist's life, which is why we want to make a publicly accessible library of sketchbooks that people can browse, peruse, and check out. We think that this sketchbook collection has the potential to open a new line of communication between the artist and the viewer, since the experience of making and viewing are both so personal. Anyone can sign up to receive a sketchbook. Before joining our permanent collection, sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the US. Each sketchbook will be barcoded and cataloged, allowing visitors to choose what they want to look at via theme, medium, geographic location, name of the artist, etc.
    Sketchbooks will be shown in LA, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, andSt. Louis.
    To sign up to receive a Sketchbook please visit:
