Records are arranged alphabetically by folder title.
scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series includes records documenting Spero's other professional activities such as awards Spero received, benefits she supported, files Spero kept relating to specific artworks such as Codex Artaud and Notes in Time, art and literary presses that printed or commissioned her work, and organizations she was a member of or was invited to attend and/or address. 

Also documented here are specific commissions, including a substantial set of files documenting Artemis, Acrobats, Divas & Dancers, the glass mosaic tiles Spero executed for the walls of the 66th Street/Lincoln Center subway station for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority. Also of note is  a file and video recordings relating to Spero's contribution to the Messages to the Public Spectacolor billboard in 1986. Spero conceived a pro-choice message for the Time's Square billboard project, but the owner censored her submission and allowed it to play only once in order for the Public Art Trust to document the piece.

The series also includes Spero's correspondence with Hans-Ulrich Obrist, transcripts and a recording of an interview Obrist conducted and published as part of the Museum in Progress's Conversation series, and publications from Obrist's Migrateurs series.
