J&L Books: Pancakes and Placemats
Join us for a pancake breakfast with artist Jason Fulford and chef Jessica Wang as part of the current ICA LA Bookshelf Residency titled J&L Books: Reading Room. Each guest will enjoy breakfast on a page from Paper Placemats, a conceptual book and public art project created by J&L Books that has involved 30 artists, 10 writers, and 44 restaurants since 2004.
Please make a reservation for a 9AM or 10AM seating.
Capacity is limited and priority admission will will be given to those who RSVP. A standby line will be available. If you are late to your reservation, we can no longer guarantee seating.
This program takes place on the final day of the LA Printed Matter Art Book Fair at Art Center in Pasadena.
