Bulletins of the Serving Library #2

<p>This issue grew out of two physical incarnations of The Serving Library in 2011. The first <a href="http://www.banffcentre.ca/wpg/exhibitions/2011/dexter/" target="new">took place from July 4–August 10 in the Walter Phillips Gallery of the Visual Arts department at The Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada</a>. Here we set up a model of the library’s projected interior to house a six-week summer school titled From the Toolbox of a Serving Library. The school comprised daily morning seminars, supplemented by a few evening events. Each week was based on a specific component from a (Photoshop-proxy) digital software toolbox, in order to reconsider what a contemporary (Bauhaus-proxy) Foundation Course might most usefully comprise. The <a href="http://www.artistsspace.org/" target="new">second opened on October 29 and at the time of writing remains installed at Artists Space, New York</a>. Here the same model serves more as a mini-expo in view of an eventual fixed home, alongside a parallel three-screen projection concerned with “Identity.”</p> <p><b> THE ORIGINAL MAFIA RULES</b><br /> Dimma Davidoff</p> <p><b> I AM A HANDLE</b><br /> Rob Giampietro</p> <p><b> WHY BOTHER</b><br /> Angie Keefer</p> <p><b> IT IS THE OUTSIDEDNESS FLAVOR OF IT</b><br /> Stuart Bailey</p> <p><b> EVERYTHING IS IN EVERYTHING</b><br /> David Reinfurt</p> <p><b> ∆</b><br /> Perri MacKenzie</p> <p><b> U.F.O.</b><br /> Július Koller</p> <p><b> IF THINGS ARE NOT QUICKLY TO GO PEAR-SHAPED</b><br /> Jan Verwoert</p> <p><b> ORDER AND CLEANLINESS</b><br /> Peter Fischli and David Weiss</p> <p><b> ACCESS TO TOOLS</b><br /> David Senior</p> <p><b> AUDIO ANNOTATIONS</b><br /> Junior Aspirin Records</p> <p><b> HOW TO BEHAVE BETTER</b><br /> Anthony Huberman</p>
