On End
Custom-made bookends—common objects in every library—mark a beginning and an end.
ABOUT THE ART
In collaboration with LAND Studio, the 2022 See Also public art series featured On End, will showcase a series of colorful, playful sculptures by New York-based artists and designers Yeju Choi and Chat Travieso. The installation is composed of hundreds of custom-made bookends—common objects in every library. Bookends mark a beginning and an end. Yeju and Chat built On End by continuously connecting these “beginnings” and “endings” to one another, alluding to boundless transitions and growth. When the sculptures are disassembled, the bookends will be distributed to Library branches and local communities.
