Pablo Helguera: LibrerÃa Donceles
January 30–April 24, 2016
Conceived by New York-based artist and educator Pablo Helguera, LibrerÃa Donceles is a traveling Spanish-language bookstore. Originating in Brooklyn in 2013 and named in reference to Mexico City’s well-known street of book stalls, the second-hand bookstore has traveled to Miami, Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle and draws attention to the dearth of access to books in Spanish.
