"The Dwelling Archive is the cumulative record and collected physical works produced in relation to the project "Dwelling 1997- ongoing" by the artist Charles LaBelle. For this project the artist documents, since September 4, 1997, various bindings around the world that he physically enters. The Archive is composed of two distinct elements: drawings of individual buildings presented in Albums and the text-based List of all the buildings. Each Album includes a number of drawings, usually between 80 and 800, which highlight one specific aspect of the Archive such as a single place, a span of time or a particular theme. The List is where each building, its name, its geographic location (street, city, country) and the date and time the building was entered by the artist is recorded." - front matter
