Sergey Stefanovich’s “The Library” takes viewers on a journey through Duncan Fallowell’s library “which has spilled over into every available space and become an art installation in its own right.”
Art created with library date stamps. As Book Patrol states, “For Italian artist Frederico Pietrella, time is a framework that can be measured in the time it takes to create a work of art.” While working, Pietrella changes the stamp to reflect the current date.
