Mo, I don't think the literature handles that new stuff very well. The very fact that you have to use four terms to describe it is a good indicator of the problem. If you could class it, it wouldn't be alternative. There was just a conversation on VRA-L about how to class Jenny Holzer (they're using "class" in a classified-catalog kind of way, not LCC or Dewey). Some argued for conceptual art which I don't think I would have thought of. Until the literature settles down, it is hard for us catalogers to get it "right" or even near right. All that said, when you get the next book or whatever, you have to figure out somewhere to put it. Lots of not-otherwise-classifiable books end up in catch basins. I don't know 709.04 but there's lots of stuff in N6490 (general 20th-century art) or in exhibition numbers (N6486-6488). Now we're beginning to use similar 21st-century numbers.
