Leftover business from the last round of "First Friday" art openings: The title of Don Mohr's current show, "Nude in the Library," roused our aesthetic curiousity. It went up in the Arc Gallery in the UAA/APU Consortium Library on Jan. 15, but my first chance to see it came on Feb. 5. I caught up with the artist at another opening that same evening, so he filled me in on helpful details.

Mohr had a nude female strike poses around the library after hours and took a number of pictures, now on display. He had no trouble getting permission and even cooperation from the library staff, he said. "They even alerted security about what we'd be doing," he said. (Good idea!) The model posed beside the shelves, against the wall, in the reference section, and so forth.

But if taking the photos wasn't a problem, displaying them at the library was. "They were concerned that people could see them from the hall," Mohr said. So he came up with an ingenious solution. He photocopied pages from some scholarly volume on nude art and created a screen with them. To get to the photos, arrayed along the wall, you walk through a kind of mini-labyrinth.

The black-and-white photos are for sale, as is a book of the photographs - the perfect gift for the friend or relative who loves books, but doesn't like to read. Information is available at the exhibit, which remains on display through March 8.
