Jan. 12th - Mar. 10th
*Opening Reception: Saturday, January 11th | 6 PM - 7:30 PM
The Church is pleased to announce an exhibition of important typewriters from the collection of actor Tom Hanks. The exhibition installation has been designed by the renowned creative director Simon Doonan, who will transform The Church’s extraordinary space into a fanciful home for these magical machines in all their iconic, sadly obsolete glory. Hanks hand-picked the 35 typewriters from his collection of more than 300, spanning nearly the full history of the object, presenting an overview of its evolution as well as some charming, surprising innovations. Concurrent to Some of Tom’s Typewriters, The Church will present an intimate exhibition on the Main Floor entitled Some Odes: Sam Messer with Paul Auster, Eleanor Gaver, Denis Johnson and Sharon Olds. This small-scale exhibition will focus on the confluence of ideas between artists and artistic media as they flow individually and within an artistic community.
