In past semesters, when I have taught courses on Art + the Archive, I have invited Larissa Beringer (Art Librarian extrordinaire) to do a talk on Libraries and Archives in contemporary art. She always has a lot of amazing things to say and show... but this term, I have not asked her to do a talk online as it is a lot of extra work to ask her to do. So, I am sharing the list of links she provided me with on a bunch of art projects that she would normally talk about in relation to 'The Library and the Archive'. Please look through all of these links...
