This year the New Museum Store will transform its CAA conference booth into
an intimate private library featuring the Museum¹s newly launched Library
Service, which offers the expert consultation of the New Museum Store to
both public and private collections of contemporary art publications. As a
personalized shopping service for
contemporary art books and DVDs, Customized Approval Plan and Slip Plan
customers receive unparalleled individual attention in the development of
their
collection. The Library Service also provides a free monthly e-newsletter,
the HOTLIST, which informs subscribers of the latest and greatest
contemporary art publications.
In response to the overwhelming interest from academics and academic
libraries, the New Museum Store launched the first domestic library service
dedicated exclusively to contemporary art titles in 2006. The Library
Service brings over 10 years of book selling expertise and a selection of
art books and DVDs from over 1500 publishers located in over 30 countries
directly to our customers, saving them valuable time and energy.
Visitors will be able to browse titles from the New Museum Store¹s acclaimed
selection of contemporary monographs, texts, and visual reference titles;
review past HOTLISTs; set up their customized plans; and view photographs
from artist Nina Katchadourian¹s Sorted Books project.
For Sorted Books, Katchadourian culls through private and public book
collections selecting books to arrange so their titles can be read in
sequence. Her book clusters, presented as photographs, provide a snapshot
into a library¹s focus, idiosyncrasies, and inconsistencies ‹ a
cross-section of that library's holdings. Her project highlights how artists
and students find meaningful inspiration within the holdings, processes, and
structures of libraries.

The New Museum Store booth will also feature POV: An Anthology of the Moving
Image, the Museum's seminal collection of contemporary video art formatted
for educational and personal reference and Rhizome Organizational
Subscriptions. Rhizome Organizational Subscriptions give institutional
communities access
to comprehensive archives of new media art and new media art-related
writing, as well as a variety of educational resources. Rhizome's catalog
for the CAA
sponsored exhibition Networked Nature, currently on view at Foxy Production,
will also be available in the booth.
