[Independent businesses] are where we connect, share ideas, and support each other. Independent businesses encourage a sense of community and belonging.” - Landry Butler
NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Landry Butler, the acclaimed multidisciplinary artist known for his innovative work in visual art, spoken word, and music, is excited to announce the release of his latest book, 'I Have Nothing to Say and I Am Saying It '. As an independent artist, Butler is dedicated to supporting and collaborating with small, independent businesses that serve as vital community hubs.
'I Have Nothing to Say and I Am Saying It' is both a blank journal and a conceptual artwork. The book explores themes of communication, the translation of thought to expression, and the absurdity of life. Drawing inspiration from John Cage, Mark Rothko, Yoko Ono, and existential philosophers like Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre, this book invites readers to engage with the silence of its pages as a canvas for contemplation or creation.
For Butler, independent businesses are more than just places to shop or dine - they are the lifeblood of communities and the foundation of society.“they are where we connect, share ideas, and support each other. Independent businesses encourage a sense of community and belonging.”
Butler's dedication to independents and community is reflected in his own career. In 2024, he received the Tanne Foundation award for his multidisciplinary artworks. He is a founding member and master wordsmith with the underground art music collective, Inglewood Social Club, and has played notable roles in both stage and film productions.
By bringing his book to independent bookstores, Butler hopes to create opportunities for meaningful interactions and to support the businesses that keep our communities thriving. 'I Have Nothing to Say and I Am Saying It' is now available in select independent venues such as the legendary Grimey's New & Preloved Music in Nashville, Tenn., and other small businesses, with more locations to come.
