미술 전시를 보러가면, 전시장 안의 전시도 보지만, 종종 많은 시간을 미술관 서점 혹은 간이 서점에서 보내곤 한다.  주로 전시와 연관이 있다고 판단되는 책들을 진열해 놓고 판다.  무빙 이미지 번역 서비스 사무소 전시를 준비하면서 텍스트와 전시의 관계에 대해서 많이 생각하는데, 개인적 경험을 되집어 보면, 전시장 내에 디스플레이 되어있는 텍스트 (벽에 적혀 있던지, 프린트 물이 전시되어 있던지) 는 잘 안 읽게 되는 반면, 전시장 밖에 진열되어 있는 책 (속의) 텍스트는 한참동안 서서 읽곤 한다.  왜 그런지에 대해서는, 좀 더 생각해 봐야 겠지만, 당장은 텍스트를 책이라는 매체를 통해 읽던 습관이 몸에 뭍어있어서라고 추측하는데... 미술 전시 콘텍스트에서 텍스트를 어떻게 전시하는게 효과적인가 하는 질문.
대영 도서관의 현재 전시, "Evolving English - One Language, Many Voices"가 언어에 대한 전시여서 그런지, 유달리 많은 책들이 관련 도서로 선정되어 진열되어 있었다.  이 도서들의 "큐레이팅"도 전시의 구성 요소로써, 나름 세심한 고민 끝에 나온 결정으로 느껴져, 전체 리스트 적고 알파벳 순서로 재나열해 보았다.
(Below is a complete list of the books that are selected for the exhibition “Evolving English”, and displayed for sale at the British Library's bookshop.)
