Library Science: The Art Exhibit!

Artspace, an independent visual arts venue in New Haven, Connecticut, has announced a new exhibition called Library Science, which will be on view through January 28, 2012.  The exhibition features the works of 17 international artists, exploring their intellectual and physical relationships to the library.

One of the artists, Reynard Loki, visually presents his own classification system of his personal library, based on the first and last lines of his books.  Madeleine Djerejian's photographic portraits were taken at "the Grolier Club in New York, the nation’s oldest and largest society for bibliophiles and graphic arts enthusiasts."
