After working on the outdoor stacks, Jared Bark brought the project indoors to his studio, making all sorts of different. All he had was an image in his mind’s eye of a column of books standing at the edge of a field sur-rounded by trees. The slender verticality of the sculptures reference both the trees from which paper is made and the ancient freestanding columns Bark experienced in Pompeii. American artist Jared Bark began putting up stacks of books in the fields and woods on his farm in 2012.

The boards on this cake are made of gingerbread cookie and are completely separate from the cake sponge representing the book’s text block. More recently, Bark has been constructing vertical stacks of books that are then run through a sawmill to become acant, a term for a log that has been milled on all four sides. The structure of older books tends to weaken with time, as well, often resulting in a detached spine and boards. To get the red rot effect on the cake, use ample cocoa powder to dust the covers.

We have been embarking on a long-term project to inventory all 30,000 volumes housed in Closed Stack, to ensure the dependability of our collection and catalog and to prepare for future building changes. This variety of materials is what makes Closed Stack interesting! Some materials hold special signatures or item-specific rarities that must be kept intact. Some materials are too large for any other shelves in the building, so specially-built shelving was created to hold 1000 linear feet of materials lying flat. Some materials are in Closed Stack because of their condition and require special housing. This in-between is what is held in Closed Stack. When all around is dark out there, One sure orb greater than the light Of each shining star, however bright Sometimes blurred through mist and fog Yet pure and simple as we wish life was. Close enough, so we depend On the moon to bring us light, A sense of joy, a feeling right. Did you know that we also have a closed stack, open only to staff? In this aptly named Closed Stack, we house ten percent of our collection, in compact rolling shelving to make the most of this subterranean space to hold around 30,000 items.Īs a collecting institution, we have materials that range from unique rare materials to 2022’s newest books and everything in between. Alone like the moon, perhaps we relate, The moon up there, far away.
