Lost in the stacks?
0:03:26
The "stacks" is library lingo for the area where the books are shelved. At The New York Public Library's main Steven A. Schwartzman Building, the stacks occupy seven levels directly below the main reading room. Architect Lord Norman Foster was hired in 2008 to convert this space into a new circulating library. The stacks will move underneath nearby Bryant Park http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?805999

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and it has not only inspired me with my artwork, but also with lessons that I can do with my students! As a school librarian this would be a wonderful project to integrate into my curriculum with the visual arts teacher. And also just the inspiration for a summer project that I've needed with my personal artwork!

I never knew that the library could be such a big help in brainstorming ideas. This will help me so much in my upcoming projects!

What a great series! I am truly inspired! I am in the process of curating a book exhibition, and this series has opened up a whole new arena to explore- not just books themselves, but what they inspire! Bravo!

I started my own "journey" back into the libraries where I currently live....
Plus I am also intrigued with the thought of going to the various ART museum libraries which carry a WEALTH of old-out of print-rare books for research & artistic development.

This video series was truly inspirational. I'm a book junky, and love spending hours in the book store, library, or antique stores looking at old books, or books with a vintage feel. There is just a certain knowledge and history in old books, or just books period that a lot of people seem to just toss a side. The best part is skimming over the words, and just looking at the pictures and beautiful type design, but that's just because I'm an artist. :D

I hope to see another series like this, maybe a different library, or maybe just a different set of artists. Either way, I really enjoyed this series. :)
