Description
Sculpture and Installations Titled "Unpacking my Library/Desempacando mi biblioteca," Buzz Spector's project for inSITE94 was located at the University Art Gallery on the campus of San Diego State University. As the title suggests, the installation consisted of the artist's private library of books. A single continuous shelf mounted on the wall of the gallery space and running he length of all four walls held the artist's books arranged by size, from large to small. Rather than organizing the books alphabetically, by subject, or by author, the artist chose to present them based on an aesthetic and an order seemingly random and foreign to the way we generally regard books. --inSITE94 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 06, Item 371) [Title, Date].
