Please join Victoria H. Myhren Gallrey and the School of Art and Art History at the University of Denver for the opening reception of Tim Schwartz: Materials on Reserve on Thursday, April 18, 2013. The reception will be from 5-7pm and refreshments will be provided. This exhibition will be on view through May 5, 2013 and gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 12-6pm and Friday-Sunday 12-4pm.
Conceptual artist Tim Schwartz is known for blending old and new technologies, often studying the losses that occur with digitization—and what are the effects of this loss? Mastering the very system he often critiques, he uses digital methods that help us to highlight gaps in the transfer of information. For this installation, Schwartz used an algorithm to select nearly 600 volumes which form a portrait of book browsing habits at DU. He has created a space for people to use as a traditional library, while physically and digitally documenting their interactions with books.
