The Reanimation Library

The Reanimation Library invited a group of artists and writers to respond to one of the most intriguing books in its collection: The Rand Corporation's 1955 classic, A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates. Each response fills one of GRIDSPACE's cubicles, with one spot reserved for the book itself. The show features work by Anita Allyn, Jen Bervin, Christian Hawkey, Jen Hofer, Charles Goldman, Denise Iris, Tom Jennings, Katarina Jerinic, David Levine, and Rob Ray.
