The Barbara DeGenevieve Memorial Library is a collection of books previously owned by Barbara DeGenevieve (1947\u20132014). Originally housed by Mana Contemporary and open to their community and the public, the collection is now housed at Ohklahomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the exhibition, the SAIC Galleries and Flaxman Library at the School of the Art Institute collaborated on a bibliography<\/a> for the semester including books from DeGenevieve’s library, syllabi, and visiting artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohklahomo:<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ohklahomo is an experimental performance, sound, art and language space located in Mark Jeffery and Lori Talley’s basement on Iowa Street in Chicago. As of 2023, the space began hosting the library of maverick Barbara DeGenevieve in an effort to allow for response, conversation and activation of her legacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the books in the Memorial Library are nonfiction: texts she used as resources for her artwork, or for teaching classes in the department of photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The collection is organized thematically, separated by genres such as philosophy, art history, and gender studies. These themes were important components in research and production of DeGenevieve\u2019s visual works. Her library showcases her thoughts, references, and sources of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
