A Book Launch Party

Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Art hosts a book launch for Marc Lefkowitz's Borderlands tonight from 5:30 to 8:30. Lefkowitz is a longtime reporter on sustainability and urban design in Northeast Ohio. He studied English at the Ohio State University before graduate studies in urban planning at Cleveland State University. As part of the festivities, Lefkowitz will discuss the connection between the book and Shaheen's current exhibition, It's Hard to Explain, But It Happened Slowly, the Transition, with artist Corrie Slawson. Lefkowitz and Slawson have been married for 13 years. Slawson's exhibit remains on view at Shaheen through July 28. Admission is free. (Usmani)
