Gita Lenz: A Candela Origin Story by Gordon Stettinius

In many ways, my relationship with Gita and her work is Candela's origin story. I founded Candela Books in 2010 to publish a monograph of Lenz’s work.

COVID - 19 + UNBOUND9!: What to Expect this Year

AND WE WANT TO TELL YOU THE SHOW WILL GO ON.

And so have I, maybe? …pausing for the wave of existential nausea to pass… but we have been dancing pretty hard, trying to pull you onto the dance floor with us. And so, our general goal is to put out the most effective PR and messaging we can for the artists and institutions with whom we are partnering.
