The Lebanon Files

This project is a set of two filing racks which categorically through a custom Dewey Decimal system analyzes the country of Lebanon. The categories range form the average population in the major cities to the parties that make up the government. Through the obsessive collection of facts and information about the country becomes tangible as an otherwise forbidden country for the artist, an Israeli citizen, to access.

For You
This project touches on private displays of affection drawing inspiration from the gesture of giving a lock of hair to a lover. The piece also questions ideas of physical alteration driven by emotional impulses. (6”x6”/2007)

The Public Library of American Public Library Deaccession is a collaborative project between artists Julia Weist and Maayan Pearl.

Over a two-year period, the process of deaccession (withdrawing or discarding from a collection) was researched and documented while public libraries serving the most literate cities of 25 U.S. states were visited.

The resulting installation: With, Drawn, functioned as a reading room and sculptural exploration of out-dated, inaccurate, unpopular and consequently discarded information.

In addition to documenting the project, this website includes a digital searchable catalog of the non-fiction and childrens' fiction findings.
