IN THE LIBRARY
IN THE LIBRARY is a series of one-evening events in different libraries.
What kind of publicity do we experience at these places? What type and form of knowledge production takes place there, and how does it reflect the demands of today’s working environment and production concepts?
Vooks are stupid! promises to animate the library in a celebratory manner. 11 interventions, performances and installations occupy this migrating platform temporally (2hrs) and spatially (inside & out).
When I am at home, they ask me: where do you come from?
For this work, Ablett has been learning the national anthems of the countries that strangers have asked her if she comes from, in attempt to feel a kinship with her assigned countrymen.
Mark Pezinger Verlag (Astrid Seme & Thomas Geiger) is a Viennese publishing house for artist’s books ranging from one-offs to higher editions and from performances towards sound-works to normal books. The presentation will give an insight into different approaches, ways of publishing and interpretations of what an artist book could be.

A Donkey Ear is an event by Mathijs van Geest IN THE LIBRARY. It could have happened spontaneously after using the library many times, but on this occasion it is organised, to notify the visitors when and where it takes place.
