Justice League of America #210 (From the collection of Charles Cuykendall Carter)
The materials featured in this exhibition—drawn from the collections of 20 Grolier Club members—explore eclectic subjects including obsessive cataloguing, novelists who started as poets, the human mind, timelines, the occult, and more.
Inspired by Jane Bennett’s contemporary philosophy of “vibrant matter” (2010), these works—in their accumulated stories, patina, and energy—adopt an agency of their own, actively shaping inner and outer worlds...
Beyond printed matter, they are vibrant matter.
We invite you to explore a visual interpretation of this theme through the pages of each collector, with photography created in collaboration with member and exhibitor Nicole Neenan.
