Also on view is
Adam Winner’s STUDY, an architectural re-creation of St. Jerome’s desk from Antonello da Messina’s 1475 painting depicting the saint at work translating the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin (image above). Long obsessed with the fanciful structure, Winner sets out to test the veracity of his vision and realize this fantastical workspace. With a paucity of means, he outfits a scrap-plywood atelier, the embodiment of his, Jerome’s, and all poets’ lonely, inspired devotion to craft. The library is sparely equipped with the ten-volume 1902 Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia, a healthy supply of very sharp pencils and enough blank paper to last a lifetime.
