Over a period of two years, Palestinian artist Emily Jacir visited Jerusalem’s Jewish National and University Library, surreptitiously phototographing books that once belonged to Palestinians, now labeled as ‘Abandoned Property.’ Lining the walls of Chelsea’s Alexander and Bonin Gallery, her photos highlight notations, insertions and other personal touches. (Through April 5th).
Emily Jacir, ex libris, installation, public project and book, 2010-12.
