Contemporary Art Books & New York Public Library, 2023
Video, 3 minutes
’“The archive is an incredible source of knowledge and material, and I have always been drawn to the act of searching and discovering information. I love looking through old books and seeing how different the times were and it informs my ability to see how different the time is that we live in today. I am interested in the solitude and possibility of spending time in libraries. They are frozen in time which is an ongoing interest of mine. The contemporary art books in this video belonged to a good friend of mine who passed away. Painting her books was like painting her portrait, bringing this aspect of her to life.”- Nicole Cohen
