ADVANCE PRAISE FOR SECTION 7 BOOKS


"Congratulations!"

-- Hans Ulrich Obrist (co-director, Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, London)


"I left Section 7 Books after passing a full afternoon there, with much admiration and continuous pleasure. I expected it to be a masquerade of a bookstore, but its deep seriousness came as a surprise. castillo/corrales is a real achievement, and the sinuous but fluent spirit that animates the space is perfectly matched to the selection of books and magazines in Section 7: witty in the best, most spontaneous way, also tender and generous."

-- Mark Alizart (Director of Communication and Cultural Action, Palais de Tokyo, Paris)


"This lifesaving bookstore, packed with thinking dynamite, provokes and instills calm as a form of resistance."

--Claire Fontaine (Artist, Paris)


"Brilliant!"

--Daniele Balice (Gallerist, BaliceHertling, Paris )


"Brilliant!"

--Jocelyn Wolff (Gallerist, Jocelyn Wolff Gallery, Paris)


"Section 7 is a beautifully strange and chilly bookstore. It has a singularity, a precision, a surreal logic, and a sly wit that is all its own. The carpet is extraordinary. It will be a long time before you visit a stranger bookshop, or a truer one..."

--Seth Siegelaub (Curator and Publisher, retired, Amsterdam)


"Section 7 Books is, simply put, a bookshop without peer. An epic and riveting place. Its message must be heard. With the persistence of a curator in the best sense of the word, and the rigor of an artist in its truest incarnation, Section 7 Books offers nothing short of a new paradigm for understanding culture in today's entropic world, where tragedy rarely results by chance. Section 7 Books is honest, urgent, necessary to visit. Only them could do it."

--Daniel Buren (Artist, Lives and works in situ)
