Nina Katchadourian's work exists in a wide variety of media including photography, sculpture, video and sound. This solo exhibition explores her ongoing Sorted Books project. Since 1993, the project has taken place in many different locations, ranging from private homes to specialized public book collections.
The process is the same in every setting: culling through a collection of books, pulling particular titles, and eventually grouping the books into clusters so that the titles can be read in sequence. Taken as a whole, the clusters from each sorting aim to examine that particular library's focus, idiosyncrasies, and inconsistencies — a cross-section of that library's holdings. Selected photographs of examples from the now 130 book clusters will be complimented by a selection of actual books arranged by students from an interdisciplinary seminar in creative writing and photography led by Jennifer Brice and Linn Underhill, in collaboration with the artist.
Nina Katchadourian was born in Stanford, California and grew up spending every summer on a small island in the Finnish archipelago, where she still spends part of each year. Her work has been exhibited domestically and internationally at PS1/MoMA, the Serpentine Gallery, Artists Space, Sculpture Center, and the Palais de Tokyo. In 2006 the Tang Museum organized a 10-year survey of her work with an accompanying monograph entitled All Forms of Attraction. She received her BFA from Brown University and MFA from the University of California in San Diego.
The Clifford Art Gallery presents historical and contemporary exhibitions selected by Colgate's art and art history faculty that engage issues originating in the academic curriculum.
