An extension of the exhibition "Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language," curated by Laura Hoptman at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
This issue of Bulletins of the Serving Library doubles as a catalog of sorts to "Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language," a group exhibition curated by Laura Hoptman at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from May 6 to August 27, 2012. It is a "pseudo"-catalog in the sense that, other than a section of images at the back, it bears no direct relation to the works in the exhibition. Instead, the bulletins extend in different directions from the same title, and could be collectively summarized as preoccupied with the more social aspects of Typography.
Bulletins of The Serving Library is a composite printed / electronic publication from the duo
Stuart Bailey and David Reinfurt,
that follows a direct line from
Dot Dot Dot, the semi-annual journal founded in 2000 and published by
Dexter Sinister. Across the arts and into philosophy, the “bulletins” that make up each issue are first published online as PDFs at
www.servinglibrary.org over a six-month period, then assembled, printed and distributed separately in Europe (by Sternberg Press) and in the U.S.A. (by Dexter Sinister). Each collection makes up a semester's worth of loosely-themed material, with its constituent PDFs grouped together on the website.
The Bulletins ran from 2011 to 2017.
