PICA’s Resource Room is dedicated to materials on contemporary art and is open to the public. It contains:

  • 700+ titles of exhibition catalogues, artist books, CDs, videos, and DVDs about contemporary art. Many of these materials can not be found in bookstores or libraries and new acquisitions arrive monthly.
  • videotapes of all the performances and lectures PICA has presented throughout our entire history
  • contemporary art periodicals from around the world

The Resource Room is a place to gather and discuss ideas. Many of PICA’s salons and discussions are held here, but it’s usually fairly quiet – the perfect place to spend an afternoon reading, watching your favorite PICA performance on video, research an artist or investigate a trend in contemporary art.
