Unpacking My Library: the pleasure of the libraries of others.
Posted in Uncategorized on October 18, 2009 by dbThe exhibit and the book. Urban Center Books has the exhibit and Yale University Press has just published the October release book entitled Unpacking My Library – Architects and Their Books, edited by Jo Steffens and featuring an essay by Walter Benjamin of which this is a brief excerpt:
“I am unpacking my library. Yes, I am. . . . Be ready to share with me a bit of the mood – it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation – which these books arouse in a genuine collector. . . . What I am really concerned with is giving you some insight into the relationship of a book collector to his possessions, into collecting rather than a collection.” – Walter Benjamin, 1931

“Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”
