OPEN-BOOK STORE
12th Avenue, Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
A bookstore for five days
only, for the duration of an art fair.
It jogs around the outside corner of an art-fair booth: it’s made up of
two horizontal planes, suspended by cable, intersecting each other as they
slope from floor to overhead in opposite directions – the planes are
transparent, it’s as if the books are floating.
Walkways cut through the
two planes at once: you walk through a sea of books, around islands of
books. Planes cut out of planes fold and
tilt and step to make a bookstore for the body: you pick up books at your ankles,
at your waist, at your head. From under
a plane that slants overhead, you see products (art-prints, special editions)
you can’t touch; transparency breeds desire…
The ribs that structure the acrylic are extruded into
book-stops. Surplus books are stored on
the acrylic plane that hangs below the shelf-plane. At the rear, a curved cut following the
outline of the art-fair booth separates a storage-unit behind store-clerks from
a counter in front; cuts through the acrylic planes radiate in from the edges
and bring customers up to the counter.
