The latest book in my library is The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard. I am extremely excited for this newest addition to my personal library. I have only heard outstanding recommendations concerning this book and feel blessed to now have it in my collection.
Also, I recently finished reading through two books, Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space and The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art. I highly recommend Brian O'Doherty's Inside the White Cube. It is a very informative, accessible, and critical text for any one interested in the gallery space and curative practices. However, The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art is not so highly recommended. Buskirk's overly complex writing results in a wordy mess. Her examples are thorough and well described, but the arguments are hard to follow at times. A mediocre read- slightly disappointed.
