Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey
Object Lessons from The Serving Library
19. – 20. April, 2017
Raum 106 (Klasse Prof. John Morgan)
Stuart is 1/4 of The Serving Library, an artist-run non-profit organization founded in 2011 to develop a shared toolkit for artist-centered education and discourse through related activities of publishing and collecting. It comprises a biannual journal – Bulletins of The Serving Library – published both online and in print, a public program of workshops and events, and an archive of (mostly) framed objects on permanent display. Each of the objects is the original source of an illustration that has appeared on the pages of Bulletins or its predecessor Dot Dot Dot, including record sleeves, watercolors, woodcuts, polaroids, drawings, screen-prints, airbrush paintings, a car number plate, and a ouija board. For this workshop, The Serving Library will set up a temporary outpost in Düsseldorf, with a number of these objects transported to the walls of Raum 106 to serve as catalysts for a series of seminars.
