Library Display
Mickey Smith
Volume: In the Stacks
On display: June 6 — August 8, 2005
Mickey Smith does what artists do. She finds beauty where no one has perceived it before.
Hundreds of librarians, historians, scholars and pages have trolled the book
stacks of the Minnesota Historical Society over the last century and a half.
Where they saw utilitarian texts, Mickey's lens finds the unusual
juxtaposition, word play, interesting placement, and the occasional
attractive binding. Especially interesting to her eye is the repetitive
nature of periodicals with the often opaque and vague suggestion of the
significant content they may hold.
Her photography gives us an entirely new way to look at our familiar world.
