Live in Your Books

Artist Tom Bendtsen is making book forts as a statement about history:

"My earlier book towers sought to reflect the fragility of arguments, which are mostly inflexible in a history that is fluid. These towers are an attempt to make physical the Argument. History and the interconnectivity of subject binds these earlier pieces together, as titles play off one another across the surface of each work. These structures are at once cohesive and fragile."

That's all interesting and smart, but I just wanted to have a fort of books. Isn't that enough? Still, way cool exhibit.
