REANIMATION LIBRARY | CORONA BRANCH Intalled at the Queens Museum as part of the group exhibition BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE WORLD June 14 ¡V October 12, 2014 OPENING RECEPTION SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2014, 5-8PM QUEENS MUSUEM New York City Building Flushing Meadows Corona Park Queens, NY 11368 The Reanimation Library is very excited to announce the opening of Corona Branch at the Queens Museum as part of the group exhibition, Bringing the World into the World. Corona Branch consists of 250 books from the main library selected partly in response to subjects featured in the exhibition¡¦s accompanying publication, An Incomplete Visitor¡¦s Guide to Panoramas. As always, if you encounter something from the collection¡Xan image, a phrase, a passage¡Xthat you would like to take with you, a scanner and photocopier will be available for your use. Bringing the World into the World is an exhibition exploring the physical and intellectual experiences of the act of seeing. The show is inspired by the largest object in the Queens Museum¡¦s collection, thePanorama of the City of New York, a 9,355 square foot scale model of the metropolis commissioned by master builder Robert Moses for the 1964-65 New York World¡¦s Fair. At its 50th anniversary, thePanorama remains the world¡¦s largest and most comprehensive model of an urban environment. Throughout its existence, it has continually served as a departing point for many artistic interventions addressing cinema, surveillance, mass media, memory, city planning, and urban spectacle. Recapturing the allure and the wide-eyed amazement triggered by this historical artifact, Bringing the World into the World also revisits the historical panorama¡Xthe crowd-pleasing spectacle of a 360-degree circular painting¡Xand its concepts and roles in the development of 19th century visual culture. Taking its title from a series of works by Alghiero e Boetti (1940-1994), Mettere al mondo il mondo(¡§Put the World Into the World¡¨), the exhibition adopts Boetti¡¦s vision that art and the world contain, and are contained by each other.  To that end, Bringing the World into the World showcases a diverse body of works exploring the formal and conceptual principles of panoramas as devices of wonder and the many ways in which we see, imagine, and comprehend worlds both familiar and unfamiliar. Bringing the World into the World will feature new commissions and existing works by Alghiero Boetti, Chris Burden, Ray and Charles Eames, Harun Farocki, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Hikaru Hayakawa, Yumi Kori, L¤Q (PAK Sheung Chuen, WO Man Yee, LEE Soen Long), Reanimation Library, Jessica Rylan, Tavares Strachan, Clarissa Tossin, Liu Wei, Lawrence Weiner, and Wong Kit Yi. Bringing the World into the World is organized by Hitomi Iwasaki, Director of Exhibitions and Curator at the Queens Museum. Blagovesta Momchedjikova, Ph.D., acts as a consultant for the exhibition and editor for the accompanying publication, An Incomplete Visitor¡¦s Guide to Panoramas, a mini-encyclopedia of ideas, artists and their work, and historical facts that are relevant to visual representation today. Bringing the World into the World is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, Ford Foundation, Japan Foundation, and Lehmann Maupin, New York and Hong Kong. Additional support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
