The General Public Library is a library/reading room project organized by Art in General Designer in Residence Mylinh Nguyen. From September 16-November 13, 2010 the Storefront Project Space will serve as a reading room and will also be available online. The project will start off with the contributions from artists and the like that Nguyen has invited to contribute publications, such as Ooga Booga, Kingsboro Press and Nieves. Visitors to the reading room are also encouraged to donate a favorite book. Throughout the course of the exhibition, as visitors create their own selection of favorite books, the library will filter all donations into a catalog of the top 200 most popular books. These books will be added to the General Public Library permanent collection after the duration of the project. Nguyen also made (along with Kristian Henson), my favorite zine at Ooga Booga, Big Wave Zeen. I hope to check out this latest endeavor!
