Gallery 1724 presents the exhitibition Lane Hagood: Old Book Smell, on view May 8 through June 19. Opens Saturday, May 8, 8-10pm.

Artist and curator Lane Hagood will be exhibiting a series of his drawings reflecting his fascination with the lives of thinkers and the escape of books.

from Lane:
“Old Book Smell” is a show of a group of drawings that reflect my interest in the lives of thinkers and books. Philosophers, poets, writers, artists and bohemian wanderers are what obsess me. I tend to romanticize these people and spend most of my free time sifting through bookstores looking for books chronicling the lives of these restless souls. The book as an object is something that I think of all the time. I love holding a book in my hands and digging my nose deep into its contours attempting to escape into a world that once was. To me a book is like a mask. It conceals the world and all of the monotony that everyday life brings. A book takes me away into another world where I dwell with my idols and listen to the wisdom of my heroes.
