Stay Time: A Year of Writing with Fourteen40 Contemporary
by John Motley

Stay Time collects eight critical essays by arts writer John Motley in collaboration with the Portland-based gallery Fourteen30 Contemporary, each of which corresponds to an exhibition from the gallery's 2009-2010 programming. Originally published as a series of limited edition broadsides, available only at the gallery, these essays examine the work of emerging artists from Portland, Los Angeles, and beyond, while enacting a strategy to enrich a community's discourse on contemporary art. With a forward by Stephanie Snyder, curator and director of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College.
