Call for Materials

I work at the Sloane Art Library at UNC-Chapel Hill. We have an artists'
file made up of ephemeral materials about exhibitions and artists. We
receive most of the materials through UNC's Ackland Art Museum, who receive
tons of the stuff in the mail. For whatever reason, book artists aren't
very well represented.

We'd like to build up our files on book artists, to complement our artists'
book collection. If you have such materials about your work or about shows
you've been involved with, please consider sending a batch to us. We
encourage students and researchers to use the files for deeper research on
well-known artists, or to discover artists who may not be represented in
monographs & reference works yet.

Examples of appropriate materials:

-- gallery announcement postcards
-- exhibition pamphlets with images and/or essays
-- artist's statements & CV's
-- news clippings
-- etc.

If in doubt, send it. I'll be happy to wade through and weed out. And
please consider adding us to your mailing lists so that we'll continue to
receive materials in the future.

Our address:

Joseph C. Sloane Art Library
102 Hanes Art Center
Campus Box #3405
UNC-Chapel Hill, NC 27599

Many thanks in advance! Feel free to contact me off-list at my work email
address if you have questions: hockensm@email.unc.edu

All the best --
Josh Hockensmith
