Artist Places ‘Wedding Crashers’ DVDs in South Minneapolis Little Free Libraries
Sable Adelaide has placed hundreds of 'Wedding Crashers' DVDs in Little Free Libraries throughout South Minneapolis, calling it a queer art installation.
Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, September 25, 2026 — A local artist has undertaken an initiative involving the distribution of DVDs through community book-sharing boxes in South Minneapolis. Sable Adelaide is responsible for placing hundreds of copies of the film ‘Wedding Crashers’ into Little Free Libraries across the neighborhood.
Adelaide has characterized this action as a queer art installation. The specific motivations behind choosing this particular film or the precise geographic scope within South Minneapolis beyond the general area were not detailed. The number of libraries affected is stated to be in the hundreds.
The project involves the film ‘Wedding Crashers,’ a 2005 comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. The DVDs are being placed in existing Little Free Libraries, which are small, publicly accessible book-sharing boxes often found in residential areas.
The artist’s intent to frame the work as a ‘queer art installation’ suggests a thematic or conceptual approach to the project. However, further details regarding the specific artistic statement, the criteria for selecting locations, or the expected public reception were not provided by the artist. The contractor’s name, if applicable, was not provided. The fine amount was not provided.
This initiative falls within the broader context of public art and community engagement through accessible cultural distribution points. Little Free Libraries are a grassroots movement dedicated to fostering a love of reading and community sharing. The placement of hundreds of identical DVDs by an individual artist adds a unique layer to the typical use of these community resources.
