STACKS: cut and paste | a pop-up exhibit by Katie Wolf (’13)
6th floor ZSR Library, Room 609
Visit this pop-up exhibition in the Art Books Room of ZSR Library featuring recent collages and a sculpture from the J.P. Anderson Collection of Student Art. The materials for all of the collages were taken directly from art books and discarded books from the ZSR Library itself, reimagined, and then placed back into the stacks of the library relative to the books that inspired the work. This exhibition is sponsored by the Wake Forest Interdisciplinary Arts Center.
Did you know…you don’t have to be a student to take advantage of the ZSR Library’s resources! Alumni borrower cards are available free of charge. For more information, visit zsr.wfu.edu.
