Adriane Herman is making her lists and checking them twice
‘Tis the season for lists: wish lists, to-do lists and even lists of new years resolutions. Adriane Herman could be called the queen of list-making and list-taking. She’s been collecting people’s lists for the past few years, and, in doing so, has gained an inside look into how people spend their time, determine their priorities, and organize their lives. After digging through waste baskets in addition to accepting submissions, Adriane has amassed enough funny, gut-wrenching and mundane lists to exhibit them and turn these mini-memoirs into works of art.
For other artists and well-known luminaries who have been making their lists and checking them twice throughout history, check out this book that was created in conjunction with the show, Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art at the Morgan Library in New York City.
