Talk | Photographer Elizabeth Felicella discusses her work


Taking up Melvil Dewey’s own preoccupation with the importance of browsing in his conception of the Dewey Decimal system, in 2008 Elizabeth Felicella set out to document New York City’s branch libraries with a large-format view camera. The result is a complete catalog of the city’s more than 200 branch libraries that took Felicella four years to complete and took her to every neighborhood across the five boroughs of New York. In conjunction with her Art Wall on Third site-specific exhibition Reading Room: A Catalog of New York City's Branch Libraries, Felicella and independent critic George Stolz discuss, picture by picture, Felicella’s findings during her four years of citywide ‘browsing’, including the question of maps and ‘reading’ the city itself. Following the discussion there is a question-and-answer session, during which members of the audience are encouraged to share their personal stories about their own branch libraries, whether as a patrons or branch library staff.
