The Feverish Library
Friedrich Petzel Gallery is pleased to announce 鈥淭he Feverish Library,鈥� a group exhibition organized in cooperation with Matthew Higgs, opening on Thursday, September 6th, from 6:00 鈥� 8:00 PM. The exhibition will remain on view until October 20, 2012.
鈥淭he Feverish Library鈥� brings together a number of artworks whose premises are predicated on the book as a conceptual, psychological, and cultural form. In some pieces, the actual physicality of the book is addressed. The works collectively constitute a meditation on the page, book jackets, design, and content. Some works are arguably a fond or surreal portrait of pulp, a disconcerting look at hoarding and a general nostalgia or malaise regarding the impending obsolescence of the printed medium. And like the expansive and confused Borgesian library, the works in the show will be densely layered.
