Tappeto Volante proudly announces a group show featuring the works of 136 artists curated by The Bronx-born artist, musician, and Professor Glenn Goldberg.
Library is an exhibition and site-specific installation of works made on hard-covered books, exhibited alphabetically on bookshelves placed on the perimeter of the gallery walls.
The project stems from the comune interest of Tappeto Volante founders and the curator in building and supporting the art community, sharing stories, inspiring reflections, generating social capital, and strengthening the heterogeneous, multicultural, cross-generational, multidisciplinary art network connected to our practices as gallerists, artists, and curators.
Library group show will mark the end of Tappeto Volante's second year of activities opening a new season. It aims to renew our values by using contemporary art and mutual experiences to connect people, cultivate creativity, and catalyze curiosity. The artists invited generously offered the works at an affordable price providing an opportunity for art lovers and young collectors with contained budgets to acquire the artwork at a fair rate, to engage, enrich and connect our community through the power of art.
Text by Glenn Goldberg:
Library is an experiment designed to bring together a collection of books and people.
A group of artists was invited to do two things: select a hard-covered book and remake/edit its cover. Inside these seemingly simple requests live wonderful possibilities.
Central to this project is the idea of honoring books, their necessity, and their meaning in our lives.
We anticipate an energetic result full of surprises!
Huge thanks go to all of the participating artists, Paola, Johnny, and the team at Tappeto Volante.
Please join us!
