“Reading Room” opening, Petrified Forest Gallery, 6-6-14
Petrified Forest Gallery, June 2014
Reading Room made its debut on June 6, 2014 at The Petrified Forest Gallery, 291 Windermere Rd., Unit 142 in London, Ontario, Canada. Matthew Purvis, its founder, describes Petrifed Forest as “a small gallery run by a petulant dwarf and open to the public by appointment. We accept submissions, but be advised that the space is small. Sound and video works, photography, miniatures, textiles, works on paper or board and sculptures (by local producers) are encouraged. We are a zero-budget, non-funded, non-commercial space which seeks to make work available to a broader audience.”
