This fall semester the Architecture, Design, and Art Library is exhibiting two new displays featuring items from the rare books room.
First, located on the first floor of the library, is a selection of mailed pages from David Horvitz 2020 “Lessons”. An art project that spawned from the pandemic, 32 short teaching units were developed in collaboration with his 5-year old daughter. Some of the lessons includes “change the name of the days” and “make a photograph of someone who is not there”.
On view upstairs in the mezzanine floor display are a selection of plates from Josef Albers’ Interaction of Color. Printed in 1963 by Yale University Press, the color studies outline a set of principles and teaching methods for understanding and perceiving color in different ways.
