secret sociality

An incarnation of the OccuLibrary
in the Eastfield College main gallery, Oct. 12 - Dec. 6, 2013
by Carolyn Sortor with Jeremy Massey

for MAP 2013

An installation of an intimate, partially-“hidden” library of books and other materials relevant to art and social issues.
The text on the exterior of the walls was edited from the online OED definition of "secret,"
including examples of contexts in which the word has been used through several centuries
(secret passion, secret society, secret transaction, secret police, secret as the grave . . . ).
Two gigs of "secret" info were also delivered to visitors who signed up for it.

Photos with file names starting with Britt were shot by Ben Britt,
and photos with file names starting with Bechtol were shot by Iris Bechtol.
