Set within an adaptive reuse renovation of a former limousine garage not far from our HQ in Northeast Minneapolis, offers a unique haven for experimental, research-driven contemporary art. The nonprofit pairs rotating exhibitions and robust programming with a freely accessible library of 12,000 volumes on art, design, architecture, and theory. In honor of Midway’s 25th anniversary—and ahead of a new library annex designed by Berlin’s .xyz s , who also led the previous renovation—we invited founder and curator John Rasmussen to select this month’s books from Midway’s shelves. His picks center on the intersection of art and books, and the role collections and libraries (both as physical spaces and as containers of human experience) play in shaping and holding culture.
