Rosemary Furtak has been librarian at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis for 25 year. She is co-curator of âText Messagesâ, an exhibit on artistâs books currently showing (until April 2009) at the Center. We talk here about her early championing of the artist book genre (her definition being: "a book that refuses to behave like a book (like the 35,000 books that sit in the stacks"), the line between books and art, and words and art, and librarians and curatorsâand how to go about collecting artist books. We talk too about the challenges of cataloguing artist Ed Ruschaâs 26 Gasoline Stations,about the prolific and surprising Dieter Roth, inexpensive materials and Richard Tuttle, and Lawrence Weiner, his Statements and his art making process. The works of these four are highlighted in the exhibition.
