[DCRM-L] Question concerning 5B in DCRM(G)

[L'Écuyer-Coelho, Marie-Chantal]

Good morning, dear fellow cataloguers :)

I would like to run something by you to see if it is DCRM(G) compliant.

I have to describe a contemporary work of art. It is a wall piece made up of 5 folded linocuts placed side by side (the artist's describe it as a 3D art print). I have coded position 06 of the leader with the value "r" since it is a tridimensional form but I still felt it was legitimate to use DCRM(G) because it is also a graphic work (but please, feel free to tell me if you think this is too much of a stretch).

Now the difficulty lies in describing the extent of the work. If I was to let my imagination run absolutely free, I would record something like : "5 folded prints forming 1 wall installation", but unfortunately, this is not how cataloguing works... On one hand, I see there are only a limited set of terms that may be used as SMD under 5B2.1; on the other hand, 5B4.3 deals with "multiple supports forming one image" and not "multiple supports forming one objet".

Perhaps I could opt for something like "5 prints forming 1 item" and mention the "folding" aspect somehow in 300 $b or in a note? Would it be acceptable to use 5B2.1 for a 3D piece?

As always, many thanks for your help and expertise!
